switchback led prom

well i got them acouple of days ago.Installed and ofcourse hyperflash happened.When i got my resistors i wired on to ground and the other to the blue wire of the turn singal wires.They work great but they only work when its daytime,at night when i singal the bulbs will flash yellow but the white leds stay lit and since the whites are brigther then the yellow you cant even tell i have the signal on .Anybody got any ideas?

I don't think the issue is related to time of day. I have never had this issue with my Switchbacks. Then again that may just be the way they work. There are different types out there that act differently when the turn signal is engaged. Perhaps a video? Do you think that they can be slowly burning out?

That's not your problem. I've always wire my halos to my parking lights and they've never messed up my switchbacks. I wonder if they might be defective? They are supposed to flash between white and amber, not flash amber without turning off the white.

These are the ****: 6K HID WHITE AMBER DUAL COLOR TYPE 2 CHANGING SWITCHBACK 92 M-SMT TURN SIGNAL BULBS 3157 3157NA 3357 3457 4157 4057 ....i have had the ones from 3bspec and they broke on me so i went with these and i'm soooo glad. They are twice as bright as the 3bspec ones and the white turns off completely when you signal, then after you turn the white comes back on
