I just looked at the ones from ddmtuning.com are they ok to use as DRL also? I saw some on v-leds.com that said "not meant for DRL" also which resistors did u get from ddmtuning?
they have 25 Ohm 25W, 6 Ohm 30W, and 6 Ohm 50W

if you want bulb and resistor ill do 35

ya I will do $30, do you want me to wait to paypal you when you get your tritons or do you already have them? Im gonna pick up a set of 6 ohm resistors so Im al set on that.

Just to be sure, every single LED on both bulbs work right?

1. Whats A/O and A/W?
2. Can the switchbacks your selling be used as DRL?
3. How many LEDs are in each of the bulbs in the kit your selling?

on mine yeah. but i wanna get my car back and check em out and make sure there good to go if you want them. the last pair would blink orange with the turn signal on but somethimea white would stay on. but idk if it was a defect in the bulb or what but i thought the one bulb of the 92 tower ones i have did the same thing but ill have to wait till i get my car back. havent had it in a month so i dont know if mine do or still does this so i cant get them shipped out to you yet.

The link you posted, the bulbs are white then blink orange then turn off where as our bulbs blink orange then white etc. No They cannot be used as DRLs. Click picture for video.

The link I posted the bulbs are white, then when you use the turn signals they flash orange and.then they go back to white after you turn. I need switchbacks that can be used as DRLs also.

you disable your DRLs to use HIDs or switchbacks.

I have HIDs because I have retrofits but my DRLs are still always on. When my HIDs are on my DRLs are on and when my HIDs are off my DRLs are on. Is this not how most peoples are?

DRLs are Headlights off blinkers on (05-06). when your headlights are on your DRLs are off and parking lights are on. DRL = bright parking lights = DIM.
