This is great to finally have someone who is modding a mass owned vehicle you cant find many videos on. Owning an 01 Dakota, it helps me so I know i'm doing it right and not getting scammed with what I'm buying, Thank you very very much for continuing this series.
I've been running these types of jdmastar bulbs in all my cars since 2016 I haven't had an issue, they're still working perfectly. I'm actually surprised , not going to lie.
Finally someone else made affordable Switchbacks that function correctly. The old ones used to blink white then amber when your turn signal was on. Which is technically illegal. But these fiction the way they should. White turns off then only blinks Amber with the turn signal activated 👍
I just put these in my 2015 Ram 1500. Awesome man! They look great! Thanks again. Just wanted to say Thank You because you've never steered me wrong. I'm getting an error message, but my OBDLink MX+ is on it's way here, so I'll be able to fix that. Keep up the great videos.
I love these lights! I have a 2008 Saturn Aura and I just intalled the Hikari High Beams and the Cougar Low Beams in my car and they put out a TON of light! I rarely use my high beams because the low beams are so good! I bought the 3157 switchbacks and what I find really cool is when I remote start my car they will still show up as orange but when I turn the key they will turn white for the DRL which is interesting. Thankfully, I didn't need a resistor as I can't splice to save my life.
Ok so apparently my stock relay was toast! Picked up a new relay at orielys and they work flawlessly! Just need to upgrade my headlights and dogs to led to complete the look thanks for your awesome videos bro! Really excited to find someone putting out quality info on these awesome trucks
I use 1 switchback and 1 normal white LED on each side. When turn signal engages, the switchback blinks, and the white LED remains white. Cool alternative
Anyone able to advise me... Want this type of thing but to work on my reverse lights and rear turn signals. So they would be just turn signals until I go into reverse then they switch that way over but potentially have the over ride so if I am signaling then which ever way Is engaged to signal stays on signal but other bulb switches? Is that possible? Any links to videos showing this?
Hey man great video I just bought these bulbs for my 2003 ram 1500 but befor I installed I realized that I have bulb shields on my turning signal side of my new headlight housing. My question is will they work with the shield still Intact or could I remove it?
I would use it with the shield. These are super bright. I’ll be installing them on my 3rd gen next for you guys in a video so make sure you’re subscribed 💪
I know the switch is different on 99+ but that’s stock. It’s a dial type switch but I think on the knob one you have you should be able to just pull it one click out or halfway for running lights

I originally dont have DRL. I used leds that came with resistors. I dont have hyper flash, i have problem that while my parking lights are on (white led), when i turn on turn light it has a delay. Like normal turn light blinks twice while these led blinks only once. And it has a small delay while switching to orange/amber. It goes a bit white then amber. How can I fix it? Thanks
3:52 all that light that you're impressed by in your switchbacks is useless to the driver because the hood-line blocks the road being lit up in that 'hot zone'. Sure, as a pedestrian walking in front of your truck, they'll be blinded by the light if they look at your parking lights but if they look straight down at the road, they'll be able to see their contact lenses on the road should they pop out of their head from squinting so bad at the blinding light. Pretty sure Five-O will be really impressed on a dark back road though.
Did you have to add a load resistor? I bought the switchbacks but when I plug 2 on one side, one turns on the other doesn’t, I assume because the wiring is connected.
Are you sure the stock bulbs aren't just regular incandescent bulbs? A halogen bulb is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen such as iodine or bromine that enables a halogen cycle chemical reaction which redeposits the evaporated tungsten back onto the filament for longer life. Usually halogen bulbs are found in headlights, fog lights and in some applications, cornering lights.
J Stokes I dont think so, only for the headlights you have to add an anti-flick capacitor. Boosted did the whole led conversion on the 4th gen ram its on his yt vids.
5:17 Thank you for not turning your Dakota into a mobile sun, so many people want LED conversion and get hyped about how bright they get but don't realize it can blind other drivers making it impossible to see the road at night. It's all about that balance between finding the improvement in light output and too much light output.
4:02 Your highbeams are dangerously dim where you need them and useless where they show up sort of. At freeway speeds all alone at 3am, you're playing Russian roulette.
1:23 Those are not amber Halogen bulbs. If they were they would have a smaller glass capsule inside the larger weak glass of those standard tungsten bulbs. Halogen bulbs run much hotter an always have a much smaller glass bulb.

Parker thanks for the support! I love bringing no bs content and we got a lot more on the way so stay tuned! 👍
@@BoostedMotorsports Great to hear!
the dakota content is why i subbed lol, needed atleast someone to know that does stuff to dakotas. WE NEED MORE DAKOTA RUclipsRS

That is quite the Improvement, as always keep up the good work guys!!👍
Thanks brother! 🤟
BoostedMotorsports shouldn’t the white leds stay lit while using the turn signal. Go white, amber, white amber. Not just amber?
Ok so apparently my stock relay was toast! Picked up a new relay at orielys and they work flawlessly! Just need to upgrade my headlights and dogs to led to complete the look thanks for your awesome videos bro! Really excited to find someone putting out quality info on these awesome trucks
Glad you found the problem Travis! 💪
@@BoostedMotorsports what bulbs are you running for the corner lights?
@@sean.g4516 194 led
Was your turn signal working when you first the bulbs in? I can’t signal is it because of my relay?
I use 1 switchback and 1 normal white LED on each side. When turn signal engages, the switchback blinks, and the white LED remains white. Cool alternative
I gotta get some. Dakota is coming together nice👌
Thanks brother! This is only the beginning! We have LED replacements for every single bulb we will be showing 🤙
Fixing to install these on My Dakota, did you use the ballist they came with?
They are sweeeeet !! They are sooo bright an sooo clean looking with new lenses An bulbs wowzers looks great !!! 👍
Love the videos making me not regret getting a second gen Dakota though it needs some rust repair still worth it in my opinion
Those switchbacks make the truck look nice!
Wow They are so bright. Great to see how well they work! 👍
Damn I was gunna get these for my headlights, but now that seems doper for turn signals
Wow i need this
But does no resistor or something?? Just in case the led Burns its self?
What the best way to get rid of gap when you have a aftermarket headlight unit.. I got bad gaps on my headlights on my durango
Switch backs r awesome
does this mean you have the hyper blink now or did your replace the resistor?
Is there a way to mod it to amber mode when in park? Makes more sense when parked as well.. 2:34
Did you have to use load resistors?
Did you put resistors on it
Would you need a resister
I run my 99 durango WITH MY FOG and parking lights during the day
What color will these lights be ? amber or white?
Do you have to have the parking lights on for the drl to work? Or will they turn on as a drl?
what housing assembly do you have for the headlights?
Anyone able to advise me... Want this type of thing but to work on my reverse lights and rear turn signals.

Look awesome bro
So how do you turn on the switchbacks
Wow, i just ordered and installed these in my navigator. Awesome
Heck yeah!! Glad you like them! 👌👌👌
Do you need load resistors for this? As don’t they 2 3157 park lights along with the 3rd on the side work on a series?
Hey man great video I just bought these bulbs for my 2003 ram 1500 but befor I installed I realized that I have bulb shields on my turning signal side of my new headlight housing. My question is will they work with the shield still Intact or could I remove it?

Nice upgrade! Great video...
I just installed them on my 99 r/t and now I got a rapid flash and a screaming relay when I engage turn signals hopefully it’s just a bad relay
Those are awesome. Wish I had them when I had my Dakota
How did you have running lights my 98 doesn't did u have to wire them up?
I know the switch is different on 99+ but that’s stock. It’s a dial type switch but I think on the knob one you have you should be able to just pull it one click out or halfway for running lights
@@BoostedMotorsports oh i always knew them as parking lights lol after its been so long u still like them still recommend them?
@@BoostedMotorsports hey quick question as well where did u get the dash lights mine are half way out I might as well add some color
The switchbacks are nice but not all states allow white turn/running to the front

please add link to PCV valve grommets you got you never did on that one video thanks!!
Thanks for the headsup Austin! Which vid is missing the link so I can go back and add it for everyone? Here is the link! amzn.to/2nb1DA1

do you have the link to the amber led signals? was looking but can’t find it
Did you install led decoder or antiflicker when i installed led in my truck they did that fast flash when i hit turn signal
is this in a dakota?
Where did you get your housings at I have ur headlights and switch backs in my cart but wanna get those too
what did you do to prevent the hyper flash?
I’ll show ya exactly what I did in a vid tmw 🤟
BoostedMotorsports is the vid up
@@geesee1306 tomorrow never dies
Not that im late or anything but did you just install new bulbs into the stock light frames or are those also new?
Aftermarket headlights 💪
@@BoostedMotorsports sick!!! I have a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport 4.7 first car! I want to do a lot to it
well technically second car but first truck
Are you guys keeping a tally on how much all of this would cost?
if you don't mind me asking, what is the color name or color code for your dakota?
Did you have to add a load resistor? I bought the switchbacks but when I plug 2 on one side, one turns on the other doesn’t, I assume because the wiring is connected.
Did you ever figure out if you needed resistors for them
i have tried this setup and they work, but for some reason my low beams no longer function
I. Guessing u didn't show the turn signal because the hyper flashing due to the led
Any body know the one for the 2nd gen 1500 switchbacks
Nice lights

Where can I get those headlights
Update? Are they still working?
These companies really should sponsor you especially since you know what you’re doing
Esta un Bombazo el Viper
Did you switch the lights on your dash board, sweet lights, wonder what other housing is out there
Can i get the link?
Great content!
Kind of wish you went with a different headlight housing but it looks good
I'm trying to find 96 Dakota parts
Change the corner parking lights to amber
I'm looking for 3157's with a RGB remote control, anyone maybe knows?
Se los voy a comprar a mi dakota 98 saludos desde León Gto México
Where i can get this ? Im From Indonesian
Looks awesome, nice upgrade! These work without resistors? Or do they have build-in resistors?
Yes we need to know this
@@lettzagobrandonyeeyee4309 just installed mine they need a resistor, i dont know if it is fuse type or the wire up kit kind.
ima put these on 4th gen the ram projector headlights with the strip that has the amber bulb,,, hehehe thanksss
Hey man do you know if ya have to add anything else for these to work on the projector headlights? Or are they plug n play?
J Stokes I dont think so, only for the headlights you have to add an anti-flick capacitor. Boosted did the whole led conversion on the 4th gen ram its on his yt vids.
Nice vid. Those high beams suck though lol . The low beams gave better coverage

Thought switchbacks are white to amber.
The high beam is on the trees
🤔 do they make those for 2016 Ram 1500? Another great video keep em coming!!
just get your bulb number and order the same kind
You’ll need cambus compatible or some resistors

Yea the canbus system is something special lol
Mine just stay orange same ones
5:35 is what you’re looking for, thank me later.

get a hemi badge. get rid of the magnum badge
? Hyperflash
those are more like switch-offs than switchbacks
My goodness aim ur headlights bud, don't be one of those people who blind everyone🤡
sure............... blind everyone
Don't do amber running lights. They look like shit.
