Default New switchback LEDs {Pics}

Inspired by last week's thread by Chicago1, I also ordered a similar set of eBay switchback DRL LEDs.

I went with the type that flash amber-off-amber-off for the turn signal instead of amber-white-amber-white....I'll update this post with videos to show the difference.

Here are some pics of the new bulbs and the old. The new ones seem to be a very high quality over my old ones and they were very cheap to boot!














If anyone wants the link to the bulbs let me know. <$20 shipped from USA seller.

Here is the old switchback flashing sequence:



Here is the new switchback flashing sequence:


The white-amber turn signal style never really looked right to me so I think these will be a great setup.

Whenever you replace any halogen turn signal bulb with LEDs on any car, you will need a hyperflash harness, LED flasher for the car, or load resistors.

Since youre not willing to post the link here, can you at least tell us what exact search terms to use in ebay to find these and others like it?

Brand can easily be seen from the pictures. Enter that in along with bulb type and you can easily find it.

In any case, I have come to the conclusion that all of these bulbs of the same build come from the same supplier, and the only difference is in warranty support should they fail. The Auxito brand sells that particular bulb at just over $20 a pair. A different ebay seller sells the same pair for $17.
