Switchback problem, need some help

ok got my bumper and all ripped off, got the switchback bulbs installed...they are white when lights are on but when i do the blinker, they just light up amber and dont switchback to white and back to amber...I'm going to install the other side, maybe thats why...but if anyone has a answer tothis let me know...I'll try and post some pics when i'm done too

ok so yea i'm a dumba$$....i thought they switchbacked with the lights off!!!! haha...once i turned the lights on then the blinker they did it!!! hahahaha...they seem to blink a little fast, where do i get some resistors, and is it easier to install these in the trunk, rather than taking all this crap off again once the resistors come in??? THanks

previous video is with my emergency flashers on. This actual makes your blinkers blink at normal rate...This video is with no resistors and using your blinker. It's like blinkers on crack!

Switchbacks are a great mod. I love mine, like ILL-Maxima said you will have to get some resistors to fix the fast blink. Us the search tool on "switchbacks" there are a couple of good threads out there, almost everyone has had some sort of problem with fast blink

yea I ordered 2 3ohm resistors to install in the back trunk in the blinkers. That way i can add LEDs to the back blinkers and they should handle both...Yea I love them! But yea gotta take care of the strobe effect
