Default LED Switchback DRL bulbs

Where are you folks purchasing your DRL LED Switchback bulbs from?

****UPDATE****

I contacted Radioflyer via e-mail found on this site. Product was ordered and shipped same day. Thanks George

Thanks for the reply. I've been trying for 2 weeks to contact him with no success. His web page does not give a phone number or e-mail address any more? It did have an e-mail 2 weeks ago that I tried but I didn't get a reply.

May need an alternate source.

I did a Forum search and noted his current family issues. I will hand loose for a while until he gets things straightened out. Family first.

You may also try The Retrofit Source. I purchased a harness from them in the past and it was high quality. They do have switchback bulbs at a lower price than RF, but I can't speak to the quality and life span. At least its another option.

Corvette Mods also carries switchback bulbs. They used to be a forum vendor, but not anymore. I personally find them to be a bit more expensive and not great quality.

Hope this helps.

I'd steer clear of the Corvette Mods switchbacks. I had them, and they never worked correctly to begin with. Switched to RadioFlyer's Gen 6 switchbacks, and couldn't be happier.

There are many on the market but most seem to bee too long to fit in the C5 housings. I tried a couple of sets that were jur too long and finally bought a set from RF which fit just fine.

Brightest available that fit the C5 housing:

You can also add the C5-specific hyperflash harness eliminating the need for dangerous load resistors to maintain factory flash rate.
