Switchback LED for turn signals

Hey guys does anyone have switchback LEDs in their turn signals? I searched the forum but most of the ones I found are old and most links are dead. Anyone that can point me in the direction of which ones work?

Get in touch with Nick at Diode Dynamics, he is very helpful and their products are high quality. He is a vendor on the forum so you can just send him a PM.

I dont have switchbacks but I do own VLED's Triton 3 in amber only for my front turn signals and they are SOOO crisp and clean! They are bit pricey and I was hesitant at first but man was I happy with the results.

yes, but you get what you pay for. Extremely happy with the bulbs and they are CRISP and BRIGHT when blinking. Worth the $90 I spent on the used bulletin here

I just installed mine this weekend, from Diode Dynamic. They are bright and crisp. Just make sure you have time to do the install and try not to rush it. I took the air intake boxes off as it seemed easiest.

Do you have any pics? Which bulbs did you get from DD?

I just googled them, do they literally switch from one bulb/LED to the next while blinking? I found a video of a Chevy truck blinker so they may be totally different.

here's what it's supposed to look like. It stays on white all the time, and then when you hit the turn signal it flashes orange.

Ahhhh, gotcha. Interesting, definitely changes the look of the headlights. I'd have to see it in person though.

I have the V3 triton's and they are just AWSOME!!!
Anyway, installing is not plug and play...It require some work.
I installed a relay so the white turn off when the healights come on because even in dim mode, they are VERY bright at night. In normal mode, the white is very bright and visible even on a summer sunny day.
I had other switchback's before this, but V3 triton's are by FAAR the best option you can get.
You really get what you pay for.
And the V3 tritor really worth the money you pay for them.
