I got some last night and put them in the car. when i tested them, the orange stayed on and the turn signal was white. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. Is there a way to switch them around so it's the right way?

 

maybe take the bulb out and reverse it?

 

unfortunately i can't help you on that one, but i gotta ask where did u find the switchbacks?

 

lol thats weird what color is it when u put ur fogs on?

 

I tried that and the bulb didn't turn on at all.
no problem, i got them on ebay
I'm pretty sure they stay the same, but i'd have to double check. why? would that change it?

 

Anyone else have any ideas?

 

almost sounds like the wires are switched on your plug. Is it doing this on both sides? Try putting your stock bulbs back in and see if the running light is REALLY bright. Might be that the wires are backwards on your bulbs somehow and you never noticed. The bulbs are supposed to get brighter when the signal comes on not get dimmer.

 

heres a stupid question. did you buy the right bulbs?

 

Just tell the seller the problem and he will most likely send you new ones

 

ya i got the right ones! i emailed the seller but haven't got a response yet. I'm gonna take them out tomorrow and see is i can figure it out. it might be that the wire that are switched like TommyP said. Hopefully I figure it out!

 

take a quick cell vid, this might interest me. I dont like having white signals all the time, but like the way they flashed. might be kinda cool.

 

Backwards switchbacks - YouTube
This is what they look like. Turning the fog lights on didn't change anything either

 

I figured it out!! I tried pulling the lights out and turning them, but it din't do anything, so i bent the pins the other way so the leads were touching the opposite of what they originally were, and not the white stays on and flashes orange! although the white now stays on all the time, even when the blinker is on.

 

means u got the wrong bulbs

 

I ordered 3157, and they look just like the bulbs that were in before, and fit

 

right but with switch backs there's 2 kinds of the same 3157 bulb. the polarities are just different on the 2

 

oh really? so one flashes orange and the other flashes white? sorry, i'm just not electronically sound with this stuff!!

 

no they both are supposed to flash orange but one works in some cars and the other works in other cars.

 

oh ok

 

hence my stupid question in Post 8

Glad you got it figured out!

 

Great !! I just got some in the mail and my whites stay on and flash yellow to. FFS!
