New LED turn signal/running lights installed!

So I ordered a pair of 48 SMT color changing LEDs from Infinite HIDs' website on Monday for $50 and they finally got here today. Installed them in and they look great. When the parking lights are on, they're bright white. However, when the turn signals or emergency flashers are activated, they turn the legal amber color. They look amazing at night, but no pics of it in the dark yet.. took some other shots tho, 1 on the cell in the day and the other 2 later on.





What do you guys think?

Thanks guys! Yeah they do. Whats wierd is that when I have the emergency flashers on, they blink normal, but on a signal turn, left or right, they flash really fast. Even the back ones do - and those are regular OEM bulbs. I need to get some resistors for these things, the hyper flash kinda sucks lol.

Plug and play. All I did was unbolt the housings and screw out the stock 3157 bulbs and these go right in

Lemme break it down for you. It's computer controlled - the front and rear signals are on the same circuit so whatever one does the other does. Hyperflash nowadays is the car's way of telling you that a light is blown, or in your case that you've replaced a stock light with one that draws way less current. Resistors for this are cheap. As for hazards, since they again are computer controlled, it will flash normally.

Nah, I meant I would create my own bulbs instead of paying 50 bucks. Cool mod though.

This would be pretty tricky to get yellow and white ones in there and have it look as clean as this. I'd never buy these, but $50 isn't unreasonable.

Don't need 2 different kinds of LEDs, they make dual color ones in just about every color you could want. For cheap as hell too.
