Just got these in last night. They are 5202 5000K VLED fog bulbs. I have 5k HIDs and 5K switchbacks and they are a perfect match.
Stock on left, 5k VLEDs on right
Both
Beam patterns (only fogs and switchbacks are turned on)

A little delayed but as promised here are a few pics. I will try to get a few more if needed they are just so bright the camera has a hard time focusing at night. I will get some day shots maybe tomorrow.
Stock fog bulb on left, new 5K VLED bulb on the right
Both VLED fogs and switchbacks...
Yeah I really don't mind it. I guess I like the look without it but I like benefits of its utility more. Idk we will see what happens

Thanks. I am going on a 2,400 mile road trip in a few weeks and believe it or not they do make a huge difference out on the highway on long trips. Leaving it on for now.

Yeah. I really had no hope for them working and didn't even take the bumper off until I wired them up and saw that they were going to work.
I understand not wanting to buy another kit but it really is a big difference in output and then you have the possibility to do a retro still!
Also one thing I didn't mention before was that I did use the short reverse polarity adapter between the vehicles bulb plug and the wiring harness input. Does that make sense?

The wires that connect the igniter to the back of the bulb were the issue.
Yes they were bad right out of the box. So the TRS sent me new ones for both sides and all is well now!

So I am extremely excited!! I received the new bulb wires this week and just installed them and to my surprise both lights are working flawlessly!!!! I can't believe that all my pain and suffering was from a pair of shitty little bulb wires.
Clean07Burb do you think that this could have...
Here is a picture comparing stock to the new switchbacks. Such a great mod!
I will get a few tomorrow of the finished product w/ the matching fogs.

I want to thank DWebPro for the great write up. I just did this mod and this thread made my life so much easier! I used all of the same components as DWebPro except for the resistors and switchback leds. I wanted 5000K instead of 6000K.
I purchased these "3157 Switchback LED Bulb - Dual...
The striped wire is cut in half so you can include the resistor and blue wire from the new DRL socket inline with the striped wire. Does that make sense? If not let me know and I can try to explain better. I just did this and will have the bumper off again this weekend I will try to get a full...
Thanks! I really like the color and flat look the wood vinyl has, it looks so real. I left the aluminum pieces of trim alone, which included the air vents and the steering wheel. The aluminum is a nice accent to the dark wood. My armrest is the black plastic as I showed in the picture and I am...
Good point. I have the switchback LED mod done for the DRLs and parking lights which looks awesome but they have to be turned on by either the fog light switch or the parking light selection on the dial as they source their power from the parking lights signal. Great mod and looks awesome but...
Yeah I pulled everything out over the weekend so it is going to be like a new install. I even went as far as ordering vled's new LMZ LED headlights until I realized that they wouldn't fit :( So now I have to focus on making these work!
I will let you know how it goes. Just trying to keep my...
They also stated the only way that capacitors would help would be if there was pulsing voltage for vehicles that has low beam/DRL as one. We have dedicated low beams and dedicated DRLS so I am pretty sure we can rule them out as a fix.
So I just got off the phone with TRS and they are positive that it has to be bad bulb wires.. these are the wires that connect the igniter to the back of the bulb. Not sure if I stated this before but I had tracked my issues to the igniter originally (the passenger side did not work when the...
So I am not sure if this helps. I just wanted to get some discussion going about the possibility of this being the issue.
