Switchback Leds

[juggjiggler69]

Hello does anyone have these in there obs hoe and if so do they work properly,because mine lights up white with the parking lights on like they should but when i turn the signals on the white stays on also when the amber flashes any help would be great considering i spent $91 on four bulbs which have 102 leds on them

White and amber switchbacks are usually plugged in to drl and turn signals.

There are two types:

Type 1: White light is on when drl is on and when you use the turn signal they alternate tween white and amber. When drls are off the amber just blinks on its own as turn signal.

Type 2: White light is on as drl but when you use the turn signal it just alternates between amber and off until turn signal is off and the white drl light kicks back in.

I can't see why the year of the truck should really matter (but I could be wrong), and I suppose you can use the white light wired to parking rather than drl.

I'm not sure I helped.

Yeah, that would be more difficult to achieve ... plus, not being familiar with OBS trucks, I'm not sure if it would even look right.

So you just want the white to be parking and the amber turn signals?

Here's a Type 1 wired as parking/ts:

Type 2:

As you can see T1 alternates tween white/amber and T2 is white, the amber/off/amber/off, the back to white.

Do you know what ohm resistors to use with the switchbacks?

6ohm is fine.
