Replacement lights
My head is spinning. I've been trying to figure out. What is the best? Switchback light bulb replacement for my turn signals I have already bought the harness stop the hyper Flash. But this time I'm just looking to do the turn signals because one of my light sockets burned up any suggestions what type and best place to buy them?

I replaced mine with a replacement set of corner light housings and the switchback bulbs from forum vendor SharpLight Innovations: https://sharplightinnovations.com/ (used to be RadioFlyer Innovations).

I replace all my exterior and interior lights with the LEDs and so far it has been working good. The front corners are the switchbacks with the clear housing and it very distinctive and clear, too. My rear halo LEDs, third brake light LEDs, rear side marker lens replace with red crystal cut lens with a red LED bulb will make it very noticeable, especially at night.

Our Cree XB-D switchback bulbs are the brightest that will fit in the C5 housing (Most of the other bulbs will not fit due to the bottom-mount and small reflector).
We also have a white DRL harness that will keep your daytime running lights white and still allow for amber turn signals. (plus you can add the Cree switchback bulbs for a discount)

It is an issue when the stock ones lasted 18 years with stock lighting and the replacement last a year with stock lighting.
