I've installed switchbacks in my headlights but only one lights when the lights are on. It works fine when I turn on the blinker. The connections are good and solid. Any ideas?

Thanks

 

that happend to me.. it can be the buld is bad my opinion is get it exchanged i dont think ur connections are wrong.

 

I had one go out right away, then another, I ordered another set and they work fine. I sent V-Leds an e-mail and they sent me a return address to return the bad ones.

 

You order switchbacks for the turn signals? Do you remember the part number?

 

Do you typically have to add a load equalizer to the switchback circuit to ensure the lamp works? Do you add anything to the circuit to slow down the blinker rate?

 

I will look for paperwork. 48 M-SMT V-LEDS switchbacks require a 6 ohm resistor to slow down the blink rate. Reg bulbs have alot more resistance then LED bulbs. Mount the resistors to steel or an aluminum mounting plate also sold by V-LEDS. I didn't use mine, I mounted the resistors to steel.

 

try switching the defective switchback to the other corner/blinker light connector just to make sure nothing happened to the connector. If it still doesnt work email vleds.com

 

JD, what are those larger switchbacks for?

 

Those are actually 9006 fog light bulbs .

 

Hmmm anyone have pics of these installed??
