I just installed LED bulbs from iJDMToy. Got the Fog Lights, Side Markers lights and Switch backs for the parking/turn sigs. Also received resistors to correct the hyper flash. Question is, How to I install the resistors? I see there are three wires but not sure which ones to tap into.

 

I can't answer (sorry) but I'm excited to see the pics!

 

 

I believe you just tap the positive and negative on the turn signal. Can u post a pic of the resistor?

 

They look good. I have led switchbacks up front for my turn signals as well. I went with VLED's as their units are all inclusive with no need to splice, tap or add resistors.
Where did you get your bulb for the side marker?

Check this out bro, one to the negative and one to the positive.

 

10-4 Great Vid!

 

That looks sharp. I'm new to switchbacks. Can I use them like daytime running lights? I realize my taillights will also be on. This seems like a better option than most aftermarket DRL's.

 

I suppose so. Just ride with your parking lights on

 

Maybe you guys can help me. Couldn't get an answer in another thread.

I put LED turn signal bulbs in the front and back and LED side marker bulbs in front. I put 4 load resistors on all 4 turn signals but I still get the hyper flash. And the side marker bulbs don't ever light up. Which I guess I could live with but my problem is the parking lights don't light up when my parking lots are on. They just flash for the signals. The rear ones stay solid but not the front. Any ideas?

PS the bulbs are just regular who knows what brand bulbs off eBay.

Thanks.

 

Sounds like you have regular LEDs instead of CK LEDs

 

Are you sure you are using the correct bulbs as replacements? As long as you connected the load resistors correctly they should work.

 

If it has 3 wires get a test lights and see which one flashes your test lights when you put your turn signals. That should be the wire you have to connect to the resistor.Then connect it to negative , it could be any wire of the resistors. If you have leds in the front turn signals only you should use 6 ohm resistors. 1 per each bulb. If you have all 4 turn signal front and rear you should use 4 6ohm resistors.

 

I read about CK LED's. I just bought a pair of switchbacks from iJDMtoy. We'll see how those do.

Thanks for the responses.

 

That could be my problem. I'm using four 3 ohm load resistors.

I tried hooking them up to both green wires. On the first one I put in the signal flashed normal. No hyper flash. But still wouldn't stay solid. But as soon as I put the wheel well and wheel back on it started flashing hyper again.

 

Hope this helps bro

Ok I received my switchbacks today and put them in. The parking lights still don't light up. Only flash when blinkers are on. I put my stock bulbs in (which I should have tested in the first place) and they don't light up either. So I'm thinking it's a wire or fuse problem.

Anyone know if there is a specific fuse for parking lights? I can't seem to find it anywhere I look.

Also my rear parking lights work fine. Just the front ones are out.

Could the resistors be hurting more than helping??

Help! lol

Thanks.

 

There is a 10 amp fuse underneath the hood. I can't which one it is but I know it controls the front parking bulb and parking light.

 

Well... it was a blown fuse. I swear I pulled every fuse under the hood and they were all good. Pulled them again and the first one I pulled out was blown.

Thank you for the help!

 

Which parking/turn signal bulbs did you get? I bought the 60 SMD switchbacks and mine aren't as bright as yours are in your pics.
