i just had my switchbacks installed in my car and the running lights are yellow instead of white. im thinking it might the orange housing but i saw other tls with the same housing and theirs are white. any suggestions?

 

Did you buy the wrong ones?

 

they only come in white and amber so i dont think so.

 

Well, it doesn't matter how you insert the switchback... you'll get white running lights either orientation.

If you got switchbacks, then I dunno whats up with them. Ask for an exchange?

 

Wrong section...this is hardly performance related....unless I am misunderstanding something here.

 

Nope- not missing anything. Thread moved.

 

Uuuh can I ask a dumb question?....Are your headlights stock? You DO have your lights cleared.....right?

 

That would probably be the reason why

 

This is incorrect. If the blade is installed one way it will have white running lights and amber blinkers, but the other way will yield the inverse results. It even says so in the instructions they give. You just need to turn them around and re-insert.

 

that's the funniest question i've seen today!!! thanks for your laugh.
just imagine it, switchback LEDs behind the amber diffusers......:lol:

 

so did you get your headlight cleared???

here is my cleared headlight w/ switchback light bulb.

 

I installed them both ways and ended up with the same result. Did you try it yourself or are you basing your knowledge on what the instructions told you?

 

jmkiang is correct. The way the contacts are setup means it doesn't matter which way they are inserted. Some bulbs are like that, not 7443s.

By the way, gcoast is quiet all of a sudden....maybe he realized his mistake.

 

how do you install switchbacks? I want to get them done but im clueless as to how to install them.

 

I had the same problem he states on one side and I simply rotated and re-inserted and my problem was solved.

 

Then you are one of the few that experienced this.

 

Yay for me! I'm special!

 

i contacted autoillumination and they said i needed to get some resistors to sort out the problem. once ive tried it ill let everybody know.
