umm blinking white is not so smart. We go switchback so our blinkers are still legal. check out vleds though, ebay sucks.

He's in Canada, maybe blinking white is legal there? You know how backwards those Canadians can be.


Definitely agree with Nick's suggestion of staying away from eBay. Go with VLEDs, they have solid products, solid customer support.

Yes white turn signals r illegal here in canada, I don't think they make switchbacks that way. U may want type1 switchbacks..they light up white as parking light's, then when u activate ur turn signals they blink orange with the white staying lit up.

change the light bulb. it's a 7443 which is a dual filament bulb. the filament responsible for the parking light is blown. the other filament for the turn signal is still working and that's why your hazards and turn signals work but your parking lights don't.
