LED replacements for the stock bulbs. Switchbacks have white and amber leds on same bulb. The whites come on when headlights are on, but they are amber when just the daytime driving lights are on, when they are amber the turn signals flash from white to amber. They are way cool.

I now have the switchbacks. They are some cool lights. Tested them on my C5 yesterday.

Wow $159.99 plus shipping. They have really gone up in price. I bought mine on ebay a couple of years ago for about $100 shipped and before I bought mine they were $65 shipped.

jpl99vert~ doubtful because in most states the front turn signals have to be amber i believe. now unless you can find switchbacks that stay white with the headlights and DRL's and then turn amber with the blinker you could be fine. If i was to get clear corners i'd get the chromed over amber bulbs to keep that egg yolk color down.
i bought the clears with the black internals and amber sides a couple years ago for like $75. Man they have REALLY gone up in price.

That's the best solution for the C5 with clear corners.

Are the switchbacks much brighter than the stock bulbs? I ask because I am having my DRLs blacked out and am worried the stock bulbs might not be bright enough.

Here are my test pics. Excuse the lame halogen bulb on the side!
We are really off topic here!! Check back in my tinting thread in the general section. For you to get the full effect of these I think you need to go with the stage 2 I have pictured there. Let me know what you think.

If they're not as bright they are close, but IMO the biggest advantage the switchbacks have over the DRL's is they don't get anywhere near as hot (sometimes the DRL bulb, I think it's a 4037 bulb has a tendency to get so hot it burn a hole in the marker light housing) and the switchback will last forever (some of the earlier versions of switchbacks that autolumination sold had problems with the side LED's burning out, but the newer versions are fine)
