White-Amber Switchback Wiring Won't Work
I have the LEDs installed. However I don't know what wire to tap into to make the amber switchback occur. Tried taping into both sides and they didn't work. One wire it green for the left side and one is brown for the right. How do I fix it and what wire do I tap

One side of the resistor goes to the green wire with black stripe, the other goes to black. Ignore the other green (that's the running light wire.)
The resistor wires can go to either side; there's no polarity. |

So the driver side I go to the Green black stripe and the passenger side I go to the black wire?

I bought the switchbacks from Diode Dynamics and did the DIY same as you. I remember there being 3 wires (green w/white stripe, green w/black stripe, and a black wire). I also had the resistors and was fighting this install for what seemed like hours; no combination of resistor - wires seemed to work. I can verify with you however, that I was failing at clipping the resistors down all the way - you have to push really hard and firmly get that wire in there! If I remember correctly it is both GREEN wires on each side in the front. Maybe the wiring coloring is different depending on the car production plant, but that is how it was for me.
PS don't try calling DD customer service - they don't know. When I tried calling them they had no info and told me to call back if I ever figured it out. |

Im just trying to get these LEDS driving lights to blink amber....... still... anyone
|
Try the ACC instead of the parking light then tap the turn signals?
|
Resistor to +\- of the turn signal wire. The third wire from the LED bulb connects to parking lights.
|
If still having problem let me know, we have the same ride.

Pic of the wires I took
|
is that the actual/same LEDs u have?
|
You need to get a multi meter plain and simple. The only thing guessing will do is Short something out.
|
Yea same LEDs. But that doesn't matter the problem is I want the LEDs to be able to blink with my turn signals. I tapped into both wires going to the turn signal. The one I pretty sure was positive and the other after it didn't work.
