Switchback LEDs!!!

Click here for the video of them in action

SwitchBack LEDs:
$56 shipped for a pair
Sizes: 1157, 7443 and 3157

Cobalt's use a 3157 for the front turn signal

When you turn on your parking light they are white, when you put on your turn signal they turn amber

They are not on our webstore yet so if you wish to order at the moment, you will have to call at 832-428-3669 or Paypal us at sales@3bspec.com and in the message box just state that you want the switchbacks and what size you need.

Trying to think what a white bulb in my turn signal would look like always on instead of amber...

also wouldn't we need a load resistor so that the bulb doesn't blink fast

great idea, wrong colors to chose to try and sell your product. Imitating a cop is a heavy fine

all your computer screens must be off color... the light output is cool white, and orange... its not illegal, and its definitely not impersonating a cop

Yeah its white and orange. I'm personally not a fan of these, I prefer the regular ones that stay the same color. Would you need a load resistor for these?

The price is in US dollars. Shipping is an added $10. So grand total in CAD would be 83.25 CAD

Yes a load resistor is required to make it not blink fast. But we are getting a Cobalt in this weekend to see if we can make an easy Plug and Play option instead of having to cut into your factory wiring

You shouldn't have any trouble, besides if you get pulled over just turn off your lights and keep your blinker or hazards on and they will blink just amber You can play stupid and be like "there amber, there blinking amber."

There shouldn't be any problems with these as far as 'impersonating police lights' goes. Only if they strobe, have the same flash pattern as the police lights, or are red/blue or red/white.

And it's like operatic says ^^^, you can just play dumb if someone gives you **** for it
