you need switcback led bulbs + resistors (if you want them to blink at regular speeds). if you don't get resistors they'll blink at hyper speeds.

Check out V-LED website, and for part numbers, V-LED has a link to sylvania's website for the correct bulbs. Easy to use. You probably want to have your headlights "cleared" if you really want to show these off. Look for headlight posts by JnC, who does this for other members.

hmm, ok i was waiting for someone else to post up some info but nothing so far so here's what I got.

I got my switchbacks from v-led's.com and I can tell you they are the 7443 bulb size. I got my resistors there too. Ill put up a link to help you.

http://www.v-leds.com/7443-7440-LED/...orLanding/true

^ those are 7443 amber bulbs but they do not blink white, they stay amber

http://www.v-leds.com/BlinkerWarning...83296-1-3.html

^ those are the resistors I got and they work fine.

HERES THE THING THO

as far as I know v-leds is no longer selling the color changing switchbacks. I looked and could only find the amber ones that I linked above. I would suggest giving them a call and asking them if they have anymore.
Also I know there are other sites that members have gotten their switchbacks from but idk what the sites are. Maybe someone will post them up. Ill do a quick search for you and see what I can find tho.

And about the blinking sidemarkers, member gerzand did a DIY on this. It should be in the 3g garage, ill put it up for you..........hold please
here ya go

^?.. switchbacks work when you plug them in (although not for long if you don't install resistors)


I can vouch for superbright LEDs, btw. Just bought my switchies two weeks ago, came in 3 days
