Bi-Color LED Switchback Turn Signal DRLs

[jebt2921]

Just as an FYI, I found a local shop that does retrofits and it appears they get all of their lighting from Oracle....as does TRS, etc. They are actually going to due a projector lo-beam retrofit headlight for me for a very very good price. I'm likely going to get grab a set of aftermarket OEM replica headlight assemblies to mount them in so I have my OEM one's as backup.

Also here's a link to get some switchback LEDs from Oracle (and any other lighting at that). http://www.automotivelightstore.com/3157Switchback.aspx

Looks like those switchbacks leave the white on while they signal, which isn't optimal.

So I got my 4 LED Switchbacks today. Seem like a really nice quality (pics below). Come from a US manufacturer www.xotictech.com. I ordered mine off eBay from Kaizen Motor (http://www.ebay.com/itm/251095545987?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649). Also here is a video I found of the exact same LED's installed and demonstrated in Chevy Truck (not duals like we're wanting to do). http://youtu.be/_taIE-FynfI

I'm picking up some diodes and will be installing these Saturday morning. I'll try and get some pics and upload after it's done (hopefully)

Looks good. Looking forward to seeing how the wiring works out

Well after an initial wiring problem we have officially conquered exactly what we wanted to achieve. I've got all of the switchbacks to turn on automatically as the DRLs do normally, and when the headlights kick in they remain on. Also when the turn signals are initiated both lights go from white to amber off amber off and then back to white when the signal is done being used. Basically we ended up making an entire new harness. The wiring diagram I uploaded earlier was exactly how we ended up doing it. I'll try to upload a video later.

here are a few pictures. I've got a video taken from my phone but it's a rather large file so not sure how to get it on here....

and a few more

Here's a link to the video. i had to upload to dropbox and do it that way. I'll try to get a more detailed wiring diagram for the install.

Awesome job man. Glad you got it figured out so I can give it a try

Found a place I can get brand new OEM replica headlight assemblies for around $100 total for both. Looks like I'm probably about to order a projector retrofit kit now. Get one thing done and always seem to have to start another!
