Switchback are in but no amber light...
Ok i ve installed a bunch of led in my car and completed the kit with some 6000k hid:
-Plug and play 6000k HID kit;
-Complete white led bulb kit for the inside(glove box/foot well/trunk etc);
-Led side marker (front and rear);
-Halo / led tail lights;
-Switchback drl;
-Clear black corner lens;
-Hyperflash harness;
Everything work perfectly except for the switchback...They are supposed to be amber when im driving during daytime and no lights on.They are supposed to turn white when parking lights or headlight are turn on.And finally they are supposed to blink from amber to white when left or right turn signal is apply.
The good fact about the switchback:
-They do blink from amber to white with my turn signal are apply;
-They do are white in color when the parking or headlight are on;
The bad/problem:
-They are always staying in white color all the time even with no parking or headlight on.I do tryed the 180 degree test but they are build to work on one side only(polarized) so they are not working in the other way.
Any idea ???
Thanks
Eric

I hope this isn't one of those "Doh" moments, however did you check on the DIC to make sure you have the DRL option on? You have the option of turning them off.

Prior to the Switchbacks did you have LED or halogen bulbs? Perhaps the system isn't recognizing the ambers feed. Where did you purchase the switchbacks? Do you have a hyperflash harness installed? If not, maybe the lower current resulting from all the new LEDs is confusing the system.

I just installed my Switchbacks last weekend. I had LED ambers in prior and everything worked correctly.

I already sent him an email but trying to find help here to solve the problem myself.
