I have an 02 Pontiac Firebird. I installed load resistors in when I used just Amber LED bulbs. I got a set of these switch backs, and they worked fine for a few minutes. White when running, and amber when using turn signals. But after a minute or 2 they run amber only. Sometimes after using the turn signal they'll go back to white after completing the turn, but quickly go back to amber. Do I need to use another load resistor on the constant power wire as well as the intermittent power wire? Please help.
If you change out the relay you would have to do led lights for the front and back? What if you just changing out the front turn signal to leds but not the back how would that affect the stock bulbs in the back of your car?
Curious as to why people handle the LEDs with their bare hands when installing them. Won't they burn out from the oils in our hands like the incandescents?
I also purchased Jeff's adapter. I rather pay extra for the PNP than splice wires because when it comes time to selling the car you can revert to stock with ease. Thanks Jeff.
I have a 98 camry with everything but the front signal as led's using an led relay. Would these work out the box (without issue)or should I use resistors? I need an 1157A bulb
I had the auxito ambers with inbuilt resistors, yes they get hot but so do incandescent bulbs. I removed them because they were blinding bright. I dimmed using an inline resistor but then the hyperflashing errors came.
The hyperflashing happens because of the build in resistor on those types of led bulb. The temperature gets too hot that it triggers the hyperflashing to occur until the bulb cools down.
Hi mate, brilliant vids. Quick question, what are the best led headlights that you've tested? Also, are there any good ones that don't have a fan but that are super bright? Thanks
Not sure if you went ahead and purchased any LED's (this post was a year ago..) However, I just recently purchased the Headlight Revolution "Perfect Fit" 9012 LED's they are FANLESS and so far, I LOVE them!! No fans, no noise. Excellent heatsink and designed to actually cut back a little on the brightness in the event that they start to get too hot (there is an integrated temperature chip that does this, eliminating the need for a fan). I did a TON of research before I purchased and felt confident in the price (59.99) and so far, I saw that they are extremely worth it!! Go on the Headlight Revolution website and check out the excellent informative videos.
3030 smd chip are bright. It can be a little too bright. I've had the jdmastar version for the past 2 years or so but one of them became defective so I'm just trying a different brand.
I just received these bulbs and they came with the resistors and wiring. I have a 2014 Honda Accord Coupe Ex-L. I didn't see you install a resistor in the video so is it necessary for my vehicle, if so, how do you do this?
I put these in a 2010 Tundra and the driving lights and parking lights light up amber. They only turn white when the headlights are on. Very disappointed with these.
@Diycarmods I have the same lights brand new but the white light doesn't come on and the amber light just hyperflash. My front turn signal s%ocket has 2wires connected to it not 3 wires so what can I do to get the white light to come on
In order for the switchback to work, either your factory turn signal bulb has to be dual filament bulb or you have to modify your factory turn signal socket to a 3 pin socket and tap into the parking light. ruclips.net/video/xY6rK4EjRZ4/видео.html
Question I got a set for my 2011 Ford Escape and they blink fast where can you the plug and play box that will fix all 4 corners I replace the front and back lights with LLED's
Just installed same bulb on my 2003 bmw and they are not switching back at all just are white. I know they are the switchbacks but are not switching back. Let me know if there is a solution to this
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
i have the same issue, I Just installed them a few hours ago, I have a flash relay to stop the hyper flash, but I'm hoping the relay will help the color switch delay. either there's a wiring thing or just, they're Built to have a delay
Hello DIY: Car Modz , does this particular model has the delay between steady and blinking modes?, I'm planning on replacing my JDMAstar switchbacks since they have a delay and my front parking lights wont blink when armning/disarming the alarm...
Ernesto Gonzalez did you end up getting these? I’m currently looking for a new set of bulbs. I like the turn signal flash feedback when locking or unlocking my car so, I might skip on the JDMAstar and get these.
So say you don't install resistors. I don't mind the hyplerflashing, just as long as the DRL stays white. Until signaling obviously. But I also heard without resistor's it may night be as bright. Thoughts? Anyone?
You have to change the socket as well. You need to find a dual filament bulb socket that will fit into your headlight housing. I have done it on my Honda Fit. The hard part will be finding a socket that will fit the housing. ruclips.net/video/xY6rK4EjRZ4/видео.html
Could be 2 issues. (1) you didn't purchase the correct bulb type. 2013 - 2015 Accord Sedan uses 1157, Coupe uses 3157 and 16-17 uses 7443. (2) you didn't turn on the headlights or the parking light fuse is blown.
I have led turn signals on the rear tail lights on my 17 accord. If I install these will I get hyper flash? And let’s say I do install these in the front and don’t like them and go back to halogen, will the hyper flash still occur ? I ordered these exact ones and I’m wondering if they’ll work
You have to install load resistors. You can't swap out the relay. Like I mentioned in the video... "newer vehicles, the flasher relay is soldered onto the circuit board, you can't change it out..."
all the cool gadgets are never for my car it's annoying I have a 06 pilot but when I search for what I see it's 2003-2005 just flat out skips my generation 2006-2008 and then goes 09 and up . then I have to buy some D.Y.I generic and bootleg my car man it erks my nerves

Do you know if the led is 6k led or white
Lasfit keeps on the white LED with the amber light when using turn signal. I’d much prefer Lasfit

They have a silicone coating not an oil coating
But is it really worth the effort of that much work? For look? Or for what?
If you do this get Jeff's adaptors.
Nice and easy to install.
Have mine for over a year now and works great.
David Hughes Jeff's adapators? Is that a brand, any more info?

Jeff is the publisher of this video.
Check his other videos for the plug & play resistor.
Everything is linked in the video description.
I also purchased Jeff's adapter. I rather pay extra for the PNP than splice wires because when it comes time to selling the car you can revert to stock with ease. Thanks Jeff.
+1 I can vouch for this too, I'm surprised he doesn't advertise it much in his videos. plug and play is amazing.

brother if this cars still exist in your life , can you do a video how to install the relay ?
Good video, just wanted to corroborate the golden resistors are no good.
So what is brighter jdm astar or auxito?
Auxito is better, planning on testing Alla Lighting, they seem superior
I use auxito I'm my car. Almost all bulbs are from them
Are there any of these which are red/amber instead of white/amber with the red being a bit less bright so that they can be run as running lights?
I had the auxito ambers with inbuilt resistors, yes they get hot but so do incandescent bulbs. I removed them because they were blinding bright. I dimmed using an inline resistor but then the hyperflashing errors came.

My 2000 Lexus don't flash amber it stay white when I turn on the flasher and it doesn't flash just stays solid white
Is it the same white color as the headlights? And foglights?
I looking for rear amber led turning light bulb for Honda CR-V 2004 and no one has it. Every body sent me the wrong one (1156 and 1157).

DIY: Car Modz Thanks Jeff. Hopefully there's a good set out there that last.
I just bought Toyota c-hr exl 2018 I want those led . you know which one to buy
If a Resistor gets 400Deg, you are not heatsinking it properly. 400Deg?
How do I find this with only amber lighting I don’t want white leds

Hemi Da Key2pwr you need inline resistors to fix the hyper flash
Hey this was a great video, along with the educational side!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Can you still install switch back led on non dual incandescent plug?
Has to be dual contact socket
Is there a link to the relay to stop the hyper flashing?
Go to your local auto parts store
Just installed same bulb on my 2003 bmw and they are not switching back at all just are white. I know they are the switchbacks but are not switching back. Let me know if there is a solution to this
What model and trim is your 03 bmw. Is your stock front turn signal bulb a dual filament bulb?
Great video! Good information, thanks!
Hey I have these and everything works but with the bright led Drl they don’t come on at all just the turn signals how do I get them to work?
What car do you have?
What type of resistor harness do you have?
If I add a led flasher relay will it affect my stock headlights at all?
nope.
Honda CR-V 2004, led light bulb 1156 work on reverse, and 1157 work on brakes, so which one work on blinking or signing light? Thanks
2004 CRV Rear Turn Signal bulb is 7440

Yes, there is a delay just like a factory stock audi vehicle that comes with switchback turn signal. Press the lock twice and it will blink.
@@DIYCarModz thank you!! Try that with mine (jdm) with no results, hope this ones Will work better
Ernesto Gonzalez did you end up getting these? I’m currently looking for a new set of bulbs. I like the turn signal flash feedback when locking or unlocking my car so, I might skip on the JDMAstar and get these.
Hey, will this product work for 2017 optima??
So say you don't install resistors. I don't mind the hyplerflashing, just as long as the DRL stays white. Until signaling obviously. But I also heard without resistor's it may night be as bright. Thoughts? Anyone?
Without resistors, the majority of bulbs will work until using blinker, just turns to amber but no blinking.
When I put mine it they keep switching from amber to white n turn signal on my odometer
its been a little over a year, do these still work?
Yes, it still works.
So I bought these and it turns out the socket is just a blinker, can I just add a live wire to the positive of the blinker and it'll work?
You have to change the socket as well. You need to find a dual filament bulb socket that will fit into your headlight housing. I have done it on my Honda Fit. The hard part will be finding a socket that will fit the housing. ruclips.net/video/xY6rK4EjRZ4/видео.html

I still use them today.
@@DIYCarModz cool i got some for my pathfinder im gonna let em stay hyper tho
what about when you arm the alarm?, I have a JDM ASTAR Pair and they take long to flash, so no front flashing on mine when arming :(
press the lock on the remote multiple times rapidly and it will flash.
I bought a pure yellow color and I saw that they flashed quickly and needed resistance.
hui ren what kind of resistance you needed?
Do you have any recommendations for a 2017 Mercedes CLA 250 ?

Yes, its pure white.

Could be 2 issues. (1) you didn't purchase the correct bulb type. 2013 - 2015 Accord Sedan uses 1157, Coupe uses 3157 and 16-17 uses 7443. (2) you didn't turn on the headlights or the parking light fuse is blown.
When I put the stock bulbs back on everything works normally. Unless it's the bulbs or the resistors
then you either purchased the wrong bulb or installed the resistor incorrectly.

Yes, you will get hypeflash. You need to install load resistors.
What if i just left it as it is with the hyper flashing affect, will it make any problems ?!
osama ahmed it will attract cops
It will burn out the led faster
I drive a commercial truck and I'm thinking I may leave it fast to get noticed by other drivers quicker. stands out more.
For bmw e60 2003 its ok?
So no resistors right jus plug an play an no hyperflash?
You need to install resistor or else you will get hyperflashing when changing stock turn signal bulb to led.
