Default Switchback DRL LEDs - what works?

I was planning on buying these switchbacks on eBay, but then i saw numerous threads here on the forum that people were having trouble with them.
Are there any switchback LED's that will work with the Corvette? If so, where can i get them?

Thanks!

I have a set I bought from forum vendor Jhonathan (JWMotoring.com). going on a year I think with no issues.
He is a great vendor, Give him a shout.

I got mine from JW also and I love them, only thing is that you will probably need the Hyper-Flash harness to get rid of the fast flashing turn signals. The harness also seems to get rid of the problem with the turn signals not working all the time because of the flasher relay issue. Since I put in the switchbacks and the harness I have not experienced either problem.

GO WITH JW!!!! I bought mine from ebay and they did not work correctly at all! I had the help of JW, tstar, and the radioflyer trying to figure out what was wrong with them and it turns out it was the bulbs and not my wiring. I like ebay, but this is one time I won't recommend ebay for switchbacks.
