Well that's not good! Hopefully these ones won't turn and fade, if they do, I suppose the black goes back on!

Obviously the emblems are cast since you curved one. Are the flags painted on metal or plastic inserts? They sure do look good... new.

These are a completely different process that the ones shown by the OP (as well as what I just purchased/installed). The ones we have use rubberized inserts (much like the factory emblems) - they can be removed from the chrome housing and replaced.

To be honest, I am still trying to figure everything the guy did to it, but if they go by how many wires are going into it, then there are three wires going to it and the capacitor is by U.S. Amps
