I was wondering how many people are actually running switchback bulbs. I'm thinking of buying off the vendor from this site. And how are they handling?

:undecided: Pretty decent number of us I believe. The video on his site, is of my truck. One small note, the bulbs I have aren't the same ones that he sells. Mine are the 60-60 switchbacks from Autolumination.com All 60 of the bulbs are dual color, so they are either all white, or all amber depending on the commanded function. Most others you'll find are half white, half amber.

Of course, you'll need to add load resistors, or do the LED flasher module swap to account for hyperflashing too.

Thank you. I'm wondering if I should get them. My front end is getting boring lol. And his price is really good. :rotfl:

Apparently the load resistors get very hot in some cases. Where is a ideal place to mount them?

If you're worried about them getting too hot, don't mount them on anything plastic. Find a metal mounting place where your turn signal wires run past, and mount them there. :twocents:

I mounted mine on plastic. But, I bought the low-heat 75 watt ones.


If anyone's interested, Autolumination now has switchback strips.

2002 models are SRCK, everyone else should be wired conventionally.

Nice. Where did you order them from, autolumination.com? Did you get the A/O or A/W? I have seen videos of the A/W and it basically looks like a strobe light.

If I knew that was the style you wanted, I would have sold you my A/W pair for cheap, since they are just sitting in a box now.
