The switchbacks work amazing. We can't keep enough of them in stock at my shop. Adding a load resistor inline really isn't much harder. just a shade more than a plug and play. I'll be putting a set in a 2008 GMC Sierra either tomorrow or the next day. I'll try to get some pics or vids.

How much is one of those contraptions? The load line resistor?

Progress has come to halt because I haven't gotten one piece in. Just waiting on that and it'll be ready to go.

They work! I bought mine long ago when they first came out...not sure if they're the same bulbs...during the day, the white's look like driving lamps...flashes a little quicker (which I like).

are they plug-n-play? if not, thats what we are waiting for. They blink faster cause they're LEDS so we are trying to get resistors inline to slow it down. Hence a plug-n-play kit.

They are about the same product. Can't tell or not if you need a resistor or not with this product. But basically the same exact thing.

i know that with v-leds you do need resistors, i've had that set before and i want to get another. i'll just go with them since i have dealt with them before if the price is the same or they both require resistors

Freaking facepalm.

Of course they work. We are waiting until they become plug and play. The reason why they are blinking fast for you, because you don't have a resistor.

Just put my switchbacks in, along with my HIDs, and they look great! Thanks 3Bspec! Here's a few pics of the on a cobalt in third gens, and for those people who think they look red, here's a quick vid of them on my cobalt. (operatic if you want me to delete the pics and vid from this post just let me know, I wasn't sure if you would have a problem with it or not)




And for anybody worried about the resistors, they are probably the easiet thing in the world to wire. If you can use a pair of pliers, you can install the resistors. It's simply put the wire from one side of the resistor next to the blue wire for the turn signal next to each other, clamp the wire tap down, and repeat for the ground and wire from the other side of the resistor. Takes about 10 sec.

I'm wanting these for the back. Then we could have taillights that changed color when you are blinking vs braking and also you could set up your reverse lights to light up white when you're in reverse and maybe red when stopping too (or yellow if you want to make them blinkers).
