When shopping for replacement turn LED turn signal bulbs you might have seen an option for switchback style, but what does that mean? Switchback LEDs have the ability to switch from white light to amber when you apply the turn signal, then back to white when you're finished. Not only do these look cool they are also brighter than your standard incandescent bulb. They are a great option for drivers wishing to give their vehicles a modern look. In this video, Chris will be reviewing many popular switchback options that are available for your vehicle.

Lost on switch back so I came to you as oddly you seem to be a trusted source and I feel the same
Thanks Bart
I have been watching your videos for a while and you do a great job explaining , thanks sir.
Glad you like them!
This video did answer questions. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Clear and concise ,this is gr8,sent to brother.thnx
🙏
I honestly don’t mind them blinking really fast. I think it actually makes drivers who are distracted, more aware that you are turning. Of course that being I don’t get any error codes or messages. Thats why I also have all strobe brake lights on my truck. You aren’t get as distracted when you see lights flash really quick. It makes you pay attention. You can also get anti- hyperflash LED’s if you spend a little more. To me its more about the quality of the light itself. I just replaced a bunch of blow. Fuses cause of these LED’s I tried installing. Fortunately it was just the fuses and not the relays. Easy fix.
Glad you got that fixed!
Awesome info. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great overview. I've noticed some of these bulbs turn the white off until turnsignal is cancelled. Others alternate between amber and white. A follow-on video explaining Amber-Off vs Amber-White would be helpful, especially how to use them with DRLs, on vehicles that turn off DRL power when turnsignal is on and, using with external swtichback modules.
That's a great suggestion!
..a great presentation..thanks for simplifying and sharing...
Glad it was helpful!
Your "we don't like junk" philosophy is pretty solid. Those Profile lights are pretty cool. They're very effective, and the wires seem to be robust.
Glad you like them!
When are yous doing an Australian tour. I love your videos
We would LOVE to visit your nation. Maybe when we get a bigger budget lol.
I put aftermarket drl headlights in my truck and customized it so it had a switchback display. The drl on the top and bottom of the headlights blinks opposite from the amber bulb that's stock
I have some Morimoto switchbacks on my 2012 Ford Fusion. The only thing I don’t like about these particular bulbs is the amber color isn’t as bright as I think it should be but it gets the job done. The white is pretty bright, close to my 5500k Morimoto HIDs
If you're not happy with the color shoot us an email at Sales@headlightrevolution.com and we can help you.
I bought the previous version of Lasfit bulbs for my 4Runner and the hyperflashed inmediatly so I installed resistors and now the work just fine. Now I see this 2023 version promising they could fix the mistake without the resistor needed, but I see they measure the time they do keep working as should before heating and presenting the error again. My question to you: Do you think that a resistor would keep my actual bulbs from getting heated better than taking them off and installing the new bulbs, or the new version of the bulbs T3 would protect better than the resistor?
What switchback led light bulb do you recommend for a 2014 Honda accord EX-L coupe sport I don’t like how the yellow color stays on during the day/ night time. Please I need help looking for the perfect one
2023, would you recommend the XenonDepot C-Series still?
These load resistors work great for my rear signal LED turning lights on my 1993 Ford Ranger.
Nice!
Can a switchback module be added to an LED underglow kit like OPT7?
I just have a blinker for a 2018 forte. Will mine be able to use switchback?
When I installed my led switch back lights today they worked and the white light looks beautiful but when I turned on the turn signals it stays Amber sold color so I couldn’t use them
Come on. U guys should do 2014 Tacoma stuff please. I love ur videos.
🙏
Adjusting filament height on 4 seperate bulbs on my truck sounds exactly like what I never want to do on a weekend 😂
When will those Morimotos you have there for the 2020 Super Duty be available?
Available now!
www.headlightrevolution.com/morimoto-20-super-duty-xb-led-headlights
Lasfit dosent require resistors usually
What about the red and blue strobe leds with the controllers that were left in my headlights and tailights in my ex police F-150 truck that I bought.
🤷♂️
If you have an old enough vehicle you can replace the turn signal relay with a universal that doesn't know incandescent or LED problem is you will have to do a bowl check although I have found even with a load resistor I've had to do both checks as well cuz I've had a ladies go out watering grass
Yep!
Can you do a video on the H11 foglights that are switchback. Like DeAutokey and Lasfit etc.
I installed 3 color H16 on my Subaru Forester after I installed new fog lights on it. I believe they were GlobeLED's white when you first turn them on, then yellow, then mix of both colors. Flicking the switch off/on cycles through the colors or flicking high beam also cycles the colors.
This is most likely something we may test in the future.
I’m in a 2010 Tacoma prerunner that has DRL that are also the turn signals. I’d like switchbacks that are white DRL and amber turn signals. Is there a bulb I can get that doesn’t require resistors ?
We suggest the XB LED Bulbs! www.headlightrevolution.com/3156-3157-Morimoto-XB-LED-Bulbs-Resistor-Free?quantity=1
I was wondering if you could tell me what LED switchback I would have to use for a 2012 Nissan juke by looking at the bulb it looks like I would have to use an 1157 LED switchback just wondering if you knew

Can you do the full review of the 2020+ f250/350 headlight pls
You are referring tom the OEM housing correct?
@@HeadlightRevolution no the morimoto with the switch back
3757 why is it so hard to find in led ?
What if I don’t have DRL
Do you guys have sequential turn signals for 2020 Silverado crew cab?
Nothing at this time, sorry!
something i'd like to add as i found out as a regulation (at least within Pennsylvania): If your car DID NOT come from factory with switchback lightings for signal lights, it will not pass inspection with switchbacks in place of amber bulbs. not that you can't swap them back after inspection, but it was something I was caught on with my 2000 jeep and they wouldn't pass me without swapping to ambers
Good info!
That's stupid. Ignore them and never show them they are switched backs then
@@MrVuittonDon they check that all lights are functioning during inspection. I mean i can just easily swap the bulbs back after inspection, no problem, but they went about changing the bulbs to solid amber to make it pass, and then charged me for the bulbs before i was even made aware via phonecall 😮💨
@@MrRickChase but the lights ste functioning. If they out the fog light om once? Why would they switch them multiple times?
@@MrVuittonDon sorry i'm not sure i understand your question.
I have a 2013 Silverado 1500 would the gtr carbide fit? And which ones if so. If not can you recommended something alike that fits thanks.
These will not fit your Silverado, however, these would: (www.headlightrevolution.com/chevrolet-silverado-xb-led-heads-B-SILVERHEAD_2). Let me know what you think!
@@HeadlightRevolution doesn’t show anything when I open the link

They should be plug and play!
Hi. Tried to install some led headlight bulbs on my 2006 mazda 6. After I put on on and tested, now only my right side highbeam works and that's with the original bulbs reinstalled. The led's never worked. When I bought them they just came with the bulbs and no type of resistor or anything. Also my driver side blinker flickers fast. Any advise would be appreciated

On my 2002 Silverado I'm installing all LED bulbs in the truck.
I upgraded the stock flasher relay module under the dash with a new one to keep the LED's from hyper flashing.
So today on the driver left side I put in the new turn signal LED bulbs with resistors for the higher lumen 3157 flashing rear bulb, and one 3157 bulb for the front. As well one front side mini flashing LED bulb that is lower lumens without a resistor.
This was on the left/driver side of my truck.
When I tested the left side, the turn signal in the back and both front signals were flashing. Then the mini flashing LED bulb stopped working. So I swapped it with a different mini LED bulb, and nothing, no flashing. I even tried a resistor on it, and nothing
So I took the resistor and mini LED out of the left light socket and put back in the stock incandescent bulb, and it still wouldn't work.
Now what is happening is the front 3157 & back 3157 largef turn signal bulbs that should flash. They just stay illuminated even though the left turn signal is not turned on.
What could this be, because at first the front mini LED flashing turn signal along with the two 3157 bulbs front and back were all flashing fine.
With that said before I installed all the bulbs, I did clean all the light bulb sockets with fast drying electrical spray/protectant. Though non of the other LED light bulbs had a problem.
I thought about buying and splicing new mini light bulb sockets on the front. Then it got dark so I couldn't do anything else. And I don't believe it's a blown fuse or the front and back turn indicators wouldn't just stay illuminated.
I'm totally stumped on what to do, could you please help me, thank you.

Which gtr carbide 2.0 model works in the 2019 f150?
Reach out to our CS team so we can set you up with the right bulbs!
Which switchback bulbs have the brightest DRL?
The ultra Indicator bulbs!
Should be mentioned, that there are 2 types of SWITCHBACK LEDS: A) flashes amber only, than little pause and returns to white/DRL; B) alternates amber and white. I'm searching for the "B-type" quite long, without success (socket T20/7443). But thanks for this video!
Our Carbide 2.0 bulbs never turn off the white so technically that could work the same way as the "type b" you're referring to!
www.headlightrevolution.com/7440-7443-gtr-lighting-carbide-bulbs-LED.BUL.7443.CAR2_2
@@HeadlightRevolution Thanks, I see! I'm little bit affraid of heat from this bulb with integrated load resistor (what is actualy a heater), but AFAIK is this the only bulb on market, I can use....
Please once more: the white/DRL is always on? It is not alternating amber/white, when turn signal comes? Thanks
would changing the flasher relay work too?
Absolutely! Most newer vehicles no longer have one though, so this doesn't work in every case.
Considering some Projector Headlights with a white LED strip that surrounds the outside of the housing. Is there a way to convert the normal white to a switchback?
Not without opening them!
@@HeadlightRevolution That's what I was afraid of, so I'll just keep them the way they are then. Thanks for the response!
My 2021 altima rs has 2 filaments inside the bulb but only 2 wires on the harness that’s why the white doesn’t work,,,any idea how to replace the harness with 3 wires ??? Thanks
This isn't possible unfortunately, some vehicles do not work with switchback bulbs, you may also need CK style bulbs. Shoot our CS team an email so we can help you figure this out!

I've got a 2004 Buick century but when I put an LED in for a turn signal the park light circuit fuse blows what should I do to fix that
May need a resistor!
Isn't an electronic flasher a much better option to resistors?
That is a good alternative also
been searching everywhere, is there such a thing as a switchback T10 leb bulb?
Not that we carry, sorry!
Does switch back work on a 2020tundra with led head light

Just got led switch backs. However, I plugged them in and they are white with the lights on, but with the blinker they go white-amber-white. Would a resistor fix my issue or was the set defective?
What bulbs did you get?
@@HeadlightRevolution They are GLL 1157 lights
What if you have stock bulbs that have one filament? That don’t dim

What if my switchback only works in the day but not at night? It would go white but not flash yellow when I turn on my signals.
Never heard of that one!
I have an issue with my GTR lighting armor bulbs where the turn signals only work (without hyper flashing) when the marker lights are not on.. which is quite irritating. Not sure what’s going on, any chance this is a common issue?
Do you have resistors installed?
@@HeadlightRevolution yes, but what I think is happening is that the resistors are only doing their job when the white switch backs are turned off. I’ll be swapping in a pair of sylvania led bulbs temporarily just to make sure my bulbs still operate properly
My question is like how those bulbs don’t have a resistor what’s the life cycle ??
They are very reliable bulbs! (:
Are the pivot led strips made to go outside as well or only inside headlights ?
Inside only, outside will void the warranty and they will not be replaced!
@@HeadlightRevolution thank you for the response! Do you offer can halo lights that do attach to the exterior and not inside?
We do not.
I have a 1994 Chevy I got led switch back light for the bottom but now they don’t switch it only amber not white and the turn signal for the inside won’t turn off what could I do
Sounds like the bulbs may be defective! I would reach out to whoever you bought them from.
These switchbacks are new to me, and pretty darn cool. But I am baffled with my own car, older 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe. I DID get a set of Switchbacks, I could clearly see both white and amber LED diodes. Replaced my turn signal and ONLY get amber turn signal, no white light what so ever. (I saw in this video, and checked my old boring bulbs - those are are duel filaments...). Anyway, I returned those, got another set and same issue. Even turning my headlights on manually, I do not get a white light from these turn signals.
Ok, so question...my car does NOT have daytime running lights like newer models. Just the headlights, one bulb each side for the turn signal, turn on automatically at night, dark settings...that's it.. So no DRL's Is this possibly the problem? Or maybe my car is to old (and it is...I admit) and just not compatible. Right now I can't figure it out.
Thanks for the video! Happy holidays.

Do you have gtr switchback for ford ranger 2004,
Here is a link to the bulbs for your Ranger!
www.headlightrevolution.com/3156-3157-gtr-lighting-carbide-bulbs-LED.BUL.3157.CAR2_2
There are also bulbs with actual bright DRL features, the turn signal reflector has a great beam pattern for DRLs. Those just needs to be wired so they turn on when the car is on, and turn off when the parking lights turn on.
These are plug and play, no wiring needed!
@@HeadlightRevolution I know, but wiring the DRL is easy.
Forscan is a better option than resistors (Ford).
For sure!
Brightest red 1157 bulb?
The ultra Indicator!
@@HeadlightRevolution I can fit it in my headlights without a problem, BUT in the tail lights these cannot fit.. I need brightest 1156 bulb that will fit right into the socket. Any advice?
What about switch back foglights....are they anygood..??
The ones we've seen work but aren't too intense!
Switchbacks is a few years old.
Yep!
Does the fan on the LED stay on constantly, or does the fan turn on only when the brakes are applied/turn signal is flashing?
The fan will stay on constantly at varied speeds to keep the bulb constantly cool.
