Will Switchback LEDs be a problem if.....

[jdyates]

Yeah jdyates you the man thank you for those pics and the LEDz look good but I am confused...Why didn't ya order some switchbacks? and is the 1 regular orange bulb on each side and 1 LED type bulb? I know your actual blinker bulb has to be orange. I think I'm about to say F it and order my switchbacks!!

Oh and also you got an "LED flasher?" Like the little relay plug in thing...I got mine from autozone it said something about LED on it so I hope it can handle the switch backs and I didn't notice it being any more quiet than the stock flasher.

Didnt order switchbacks because of the prices on autolumination and i didnt want to trust some cheap eBay switchbacks. And yes, it is one incandescent, one LED in each parking light. Think of the nbs DRL's. And yeah i went ahead and ordered a flasher that eliminates hyperflash due to the very little power drawn for LEDs.

Griffin - I am all over these grounds come morning. I will let you know if it helps with my issue. These pics look exactly like my bay set up.

Good luck to both of you with the grounds, i really hope they help.

jdyates: YOU'RE KILLING ME!
Those LED's have a cone shape on the end only emitting light in a forward fashion.
For blinkers/running lights you would have to get a SMD which is Side emitting, thus shining light in a more dispersed pattern.... You know I'll bust out some pics LMAO

jdyates there is one sight I saw the best price on switchbacks @ $15 a piece was the best I could find but I mean you could spend $50 per bulb if you're not careful and looking for the right thing.

Same deal.

I'll start a thread dedicated to the different types of LED's and what works best where.

The parking lights? Yessir although they're very touchy by punching the parking light they will both blink, then I a couple of bumps later only 1 of them will blink but I got them all on and the same brightness so I am fairly happy with just that...It took swapping them out to different sockets and even turning some of them 180 like LED's in the cluster so I dunno what's up with that...These aren't the orange regulars but the silverstar blue ones.

That will help for n00bs like me.

Griffin, now that you mention bumps f'in with the lights, theres GOTTA be a loose terminal/wire somewhere. I'd start by checking the sockets+wires that are connected to them, then start tracing wire looking for any kinds of rips or whatever.
