Switchback LED's looking pink??

Soo i swapped my headlights today and installed the switchback LED's. One side looks GREAT! However it seems as the other looks like its pink instead of amber.. taking a closer look it seems to be that the blue led stays on when the amber lights turn on giving it that color.

Has anyone had this problem?? I have yet to install the resister but i don't think that has anything to do with it because one side works fine.

Correct, with or without the resistor... it should not be doing that.
Try swapping the two switchbacks to confirm one is bad.
One of my switchbacks lasted 2 months, so my personal feelings are:
Switchbacks =


But do they look gangsta as hell? You betcha.
Good luck bro, keep us updated.

Thanks.. Yes i think they look awesome too!! I emailed autolumination as well so hopefully ill know for sure what the issue is by tomorow..

Also does anyone have any details or pics on what wire it is that i have to get into to install the resistors??

That's kinda odd I've had mine for about 6 months and havent had any problems with them. Then again I didnt get them from autolumination, I got them local.

To be honest, I put mine in the rear trunk cabin. That way they wouldnt get wet or bumped around etc. The wire is a BITCH to hook up to but its easy to find!!! God luck!!
