Switchbacks Installed

What's up guys, I installed my switchbacks today, they really compliment the rest of the HIDs in the headlights. Let me know what you think.

Nice, now look out for them to prematurely go out on you.....when you are at a stop and are holding your brake with them on, look for the reflection of them in the car in front of you and check it they consistently flicker.

I have had mine for about a year know (along with the resistors) and have no problems...knock on wood.

Looks really good Joe.

Do you have pictures of where you mounted the resistors? I ask because I have them sitting in my closet, but found it better to just have a faster blink instead of the resistors burning through some of the plastic.

thanks, and please let me know

I don't have LED's in the rear though, I only have them in the front turn-signals. Would I still be able to install the resistors in the tail-lights even though I don't have LED's back there?
