Installed RadioFlyer Switchback Harness 2.0 Today
I'm very proud of myself. No, this is not the hardest thing in the world, but I have now used my race ramps twice, instead of paying somebody else labor, so in my opinion they have now paid for themselves.
One of my DRL/parking lights went out, so I ordered RadioFlyers switchback harness 2.0 along with the bulbs. They work as advertised.
They are orange at startup, or when you are turning other lights on and off, and you have your orange turn signal, but you have white DRLs, somewhat like a more modern car. Mine will not be as bright white as others, because my housing are blacked out by Corvette Enhancements.
In the video below, the delay of them turning on after the car starts is because when on the ramps I have the E-brake on. Funny story....I wanted to make sure they were working so I had my Dad look at the front of the car while I started it on the ramps. I freaked out for a second because nothing came on....duh....e-brake was on. LOL

One thing to keep in mind-almost forgot it happened-thought I was done, turned them on-1 was white, 1 was orange. Turned the bulb around, and then it worked just fine, so I guess there is a "right way" for the bulb to go in.

Quick question - I see that you did not have hyperflash with the hazards on. Did you install resisters at the bulbs? I put their hyperflash harness in and as is typical for C5's the turns worked great but hazards are hyperizing!

Yes, I have the hyperflash harness installed. I have LEDs front and rear.

The halo LED taillights will not hyperflash on hazards due to large resistors to mimic halogens being part of their design, all other LED taillights will hyperflash without resistors added in.
