Switchback LED's

Anyone have switchbacks? I have new 8k hids and the amber on the turn signal is just kinda off to me now. Anyone have switchbacks and how hard is it to wire them up?

6k switchbacks will be a very close match to 8k hids. The leds are a bluer color than they rate them for.

I was happy with the ones I purchased from Vleds.com. I think buyhids.com is able to get them now too.

they plug straight in just like a normal bulb. You need to test it before putting the stocket back in because they can be put in backwards. Also without resistors, they will hyperflash.

You can get the bulbs from 3BSpec.com like listed above. I also recommend V-LED.com has 6 ohm resistors that come with T Taps. They are easy to install. I had 8k and Switchbacks and they look perfect, although the turn signals are hard to see sometimes because of the light output.
