I just recently installed my switchbacks (7440) bulbs. The problem that I'm having is that when my lights are on and I turn on either turn signal, the white lights dont turn on just the amber ones blink, but once the lights stops blinking the white lights come back on. From what I've seen when the lights are on they both (white/amber) should work when using either blinker. Has anyone else encounter this problem before if so I would really appreciate any info on how to go abuot fixing this.

 

hmmm where did you get them from v-led's? maybe you have a defective one? Id give them a call and explain the problem. Im sure they would replace it for you

 

Yeah I got them from v-leds do you think that could be the problem or I was also thinking maybe it has something to do with the resistors that I installed but I'll contact them to see what they say.

Thanks

 

ummm i dont think it would be the resistors, sounds like its a problem with the switchback itself

 

As far as I know, there is NOTHING wrong with either your switchbacks OR your resistors, They're working exactly how they should be.. It all depends on the type of switchbacks you bought.

See linky.

EG. I'm guessing you bought TYPE 2

 

^ wow, you are totally right!!

I dont even think they made the Type 2 switchbacks when I bought mine

 

Yeah I contacted them and they said that I bought the Type 2, they said that the Type 1 will be available in a few weeks due to popular demand.

 

I think these are the bulbs you want to keep the lights legal. Here in Cali your blinkers must blink orange. I thought that was what switch back meant, to switch to orange for the blinkers and then back to white.
