You mean for the front driving/parking lights and turn signals?

The default behavior is going to be a switchback that's white and amber.

The bulb is a 3457A, however in LED land I believe that is interchangeable with 3157, such as this bad boy:

V3 TRITON GEN 2.5 WHITE AMBER LED SWITCHBACK SYSTEM 3157 | 1 SET

Which is an LED switchback, your question is kinda confusing.

I actually personally don't have that set, so I can't tell you 100% if those things are worth it. Quite a few guys on AZ have VLED products (myself included) so I'm sure there's a few that can answer your question. Probably best to ask in the Electronics section and/or search to see if someone's already done it.

I also have the V-LED Triton V3's and love them. Great output. Great build quality. Like Jerry "O", I have the Gen 2.0 that came with all of the resistors and such inside of the control boxes so I can't advise you on which optional pieces you need for the install.

Here are the 5k Triton swtichbacks along with Morimoto XB LED Fogs, (another great item for 12-14 TL's). Jerry has the exact same setup.

V-LED's MT-G2 3200LM LED kit. They don't make them anymore. They've been replaced with the LMZ kits that are not as DRL/high-beam friendly as the old ones from what I've heard.

BDogg - does the V-LED's MT-G2 allow for the lower vs. higher output (meaning you don't loose the DRL vs. High Beam functionality)?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Get all that. You need to mount the resistors and the tape they provide is great, I mounted mine to the bottom of the frame as they recommended. Overall order from them, you won't be disappointed. Once you have the order, give them a call for your questions, they're VERY nice and very helpful.
