Time for some new pictures and videos. Nothing crazy but I didn't take these to NOT share them
First up, some pictures. My buddy Matt has the 05 NBP on CR-Kais. His car was filthy when we first met up to take pictures. We ended up washing his car later but then it got too late, so we didn't take any more
Now for some videos. These just show off the non-resonated ATLP Base Exhaust I have installed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8DBAMDi4hA
Yeah I'm no professional video person, sorry about that. Funny thing is, my dad is driving my car in those videos, not me
The last video is of my switchbacks. You'll see that I have the headlights on and off throughout the video to show how they flash differently when the lights are on or off.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7r2BshB9t4
Okay, one more funny video. My girlfriend and I adopted this chihuahua named Cosmo back in March. The stubborn bastard doesn't like to go outside when it's raining or when the ground is wet so we bought him some shoes. He has a hard time walking in them...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rniWX_Q36LU
After these videos and pictures were taken, I met up with Aaron (badazztl-s) and Jason (bobbylight83) to swap out some parts. Jason was parting out his car so I got a ATLP V2 J-Pipe and Race Pipe while Aaron added a set of ATLP V2 Quads to his car. I'm sure everyone has seen the thread already so I'll just post a few...
Left to right: yours truly, Aaron, and rptls08 (Ravin)...
Once we got the new goodies on the car, Ravin went to work and Aaron and I went and took some pictures...
And so you ask, what's next for my TL? Nothing. Well, this will be added soon...
I got it from Jason when I got the exhaust goodies but I just haven't taken the time to put it on.
And I would probably have more money to my name if this didn't happen on Thursday...
Isn't she a beauty? Nice and rusty right into my sidewall. The whole tire had to be replaced and it was brand new back in March. Fml.
Besides that the car is running great. 1143xx miles as of this afternoon and I love it. The gains from the j-pipe and race pipe were well worth the money. I can't get enough of those additions.

Oh mi gad switchbacks are too damn mesmerizing. So when your lights are off and you have your turn signal on, does it just blink orange? Looking great as usual. 114K? Damn it seems like you just did your 105K service. lol

this is a breakthrough lol
do you have V2 switchbacks? if u do then u just saved me a big headache. I thought bforbrian and I had soldered the wires wrong because my switchbacks act like urs and they are NOT supposed to do that. Ive gotten used to it now and it looks sorta cool but sometimes i want them to just blink amber and its impossible if my headlights have been on for awhile. but when the headlights arent on they blink just amber. I think we got a bad batch

I think thats how they are supposed to be.
If the headlights are on, that means the side markers are on as well (the white light on the switchbacks). Blinker turns on, they alternate. If the sidemarkers are off, then its just amber, off, amber, off..... its by design. Its also kind of why they are called switchbacks.

I thought will quit messing with you....
The switchbacks you have are called AW (Amber White) the way they operate is:
White while running and Amber while flashing, but the white doesnt go off....so it blinks like amber - white - amber - white when you have the lights on run mode....when the lights are on off mode and you indicate they go amber - off - amber - off
The other kind are AO (Amber OFF)
and these indicate Amber - off - Amber - off irrespective if the lights are on or off....
if you sitting at a light and indicate right:
AW: LEFT - White....RIGHT - White - Amber - White - Amber
AO: LEFT - White....RIGHT - Amber - OFF - Amber - OFF
hope this makes sense LOL....

Note: There are two styles of Amber-White switchback bulbs:
1. AO - Amber-Off
2. AW - Amber - White
Operational description Animation
AO - Amber - Off
The Amber -Off (AO) Switchback bulb has special circuitry inside that senses when there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit. Whenever there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit, the bulb switches off power to the (white) running light circuit for 2 seconds. The result is that in most vehicles, the switch back bulb will flash amber-off-amber off whenever the turn signal is activated, even when there is power to the (white) running light circuit.
The bulb will switchback to white if the headlights are switched on and the turn signal circuit is switched off for 2 seconds.
The bulb will switchback to off if the headlights are switched off and the turn signal circuit is switched off for 2 seconds.
The result (in most vehicles) is shown in this animation with the headlights on.
Switchback led white amber turn signal bulb
AW - Amber - White
The Amber -White (AW) Switchback bulb has special circuitry inside that senses when there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit. Whenever there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit, the bulb switches to amber mode. The result is that in most vehicles, the switch back bulb will flash amber-white-amber-white, whenever the turn signal is activated and the headlights are on.
In some vehicles, the power to the (white) running light circuit is automatically switched off whenever the turn signal is activated. In these cases, the AW switchback will flash amber-off-amber off whenever the turn signal is activated.
In most vehicles, the AW switchback will flash amber-off-amber off whenever the turn signal is activated and the headlights/running lights are off.
The AW switch back bulb as it will operate (in most vehicles) is shown in this animation amber-white-amber with the headlights on.

I think you may have just convinced me to give switchbacks a try again...although I may go with type 2's so it goes amber off amber off rather than back to white.

Guys, I will tell you that on the switchbacks, the Amber/White's looks good in the daytime because you don't have your lights on. So when you hit your turn signal, the amber is very "amber". But when you turn on your headlights, the white in the switchback bulbs comes on, and stays on. So when you hit the turn signal, the amber is very faint because the white does not go off. So the amber fights the white lights......just so you know!

Thanks! Yeah that screw pissed me off.
That's my favorite picture that I've taken in a while. The lighting is perfect.
Poor Cosmo didn't know what the fuck to do
Correct. When all of my lights are on and just the turn signal or hazard lights are turned on, they only blink amber.
Yeah I drive a shit ton. I got a full tank on Sunday and I'll be getting another tank tomorrow morning
I DRIVE DIS MUUUFUCCCKKAAAAAA A LOT!
I believe these are the V2 switchbacks but don't quote me on that. I've had them for almost 3 years and I can't remember which ones I ordered
Correct.
Sounds like yours are fucked.
Me too. Hella sweet yo.
Thank you sir!
I see what you did too Steven
But thank you sir!
Yummy 
Damn mods 
You'll have a text here in a few minutes sir!
You guys are making this complicated. Here...
Lights off: Amber, off, amber, off
ONLY "parking lights" on: amber, white, amber, white
HIDs and/or fogs on: amber white, amber white
DON'T LAUGH AT MY DOG FUCKER!
Nah just kidding. I laugh at his goofy ass all of the time.
Thanks! I often forget I even have them
Jeremy
I love my switchbacks! I just wish I could see them in action more often
I believe you want the V1 switchbacks. I could be mistaken but I think I have the V2
I like animals, some more than others. I can't stand cats but I love dogs.
Dew it.
He's so damn funny. Everything he does is YouTube worthy. Well, almost everything.
Actually, not trying to sound like a dick, that's incorrect.
When the lights are on and the turn signal is engaged, the white and amber alternate. AT NO TIME are both the amber and white lit up at the same moment. It's one or the other.
Thanks fellas

If the headlights are on, that means the side markers are on as well (the white light on the switchbacks). Blinker turns on, they alternate. If the sidemarkers are off, then its just amber, off, amber, off..... its by design. Its also kind of why they are called switchbacks.
