What the hell is a switchback?

Nice looking car but those lights look like a school bus dropping off kids...

I guess members of the 3g forum are only familiar with the dual filament turn signal bulb. Here is a video of switchback turn signals. This is a video of a infamouslinks car

Nice car. But it seems to be more on the concept side versus the actual street production.

Wow, good stuff. I remember wanting to do it to my 3G but didnt feel like boring out the headlight hole. Think they have the correct size now tho, yes?

I'll take switchbacks any day over having an ugly orange reflector in the headlight housing. Also that concept =
