Tahoe DRL Blinker Switchback LED ReWire

[vt_hokie2008]

To my knowledge yes the are required, not sure why...

Someone could try not using diodes, but they isolate the current to prevent any feedback that might cause some undesirable results. No way to know really without trying, but they're kind of just a safety net.

Sure, see post #23 for the link to the switchbacks and here is the link to the VLED fogs http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/fog-lights/5202/10-led-drl-fog-light-bulbs-5202-1-pair-2957.html

I had the OPT7 bulbs you recommended and sent them back as they were to blue for me. The VLEDs are a perfect color match to the 5K switchbacks. Also if you see my avatar pic they match the Morimoto HIDs perfectly as well.

If you have any questions just let me know

Thanks, I may give these a try, I have had to have the OPT7 bulbs replaced about 5 times now. They are very cheaply made bulbs and I am tired of changing them out.

Yeah I thought the quality sucked too . The front "projector lens" just rattled around in there and they did not fit in the housing with the o-ring left on. The output is about half of the VLEDs

I did it and boy do I love it..!
I wired without the diode/s with no issue, I still plan on picking them up and putting them in line ( I get the diode basically is stopping the reverse flow of current and it cant hurt )

Wired the grounds back together with one side of the resistors
Wired the other side of the resistors with the each of the BROWN and BLUE leads.
Bolted resistors to the RAD Support, perfect for heat dispersion
Was simpler than I thought once I started, its right there in front of you.
Only one complaint, my switchbacks are to blue for my liking, I will need to purchase whiter ones soon...


Thanks all for your help, pictures tomorrow!
Tonight I'm wiped from the rip down and put back together.

Yes, I plan on purchasing whiter ones, the ones I used when I did this write up aren't bright enough during the day for my liking.

Get the ones that I have. Pictures and links are in this post

These are the bulbs I ordered, someone elsewhere said they were very white... LIES! "Blue as the sky"
I'm going to hang onto them for now just incase I ever want them for any dumb reason.

Mester320 thanks for the response, I'm going to order the ones you have. Basically I want to match my stock fog and headlamp color.

Took a couple pictures, did a video but it sucked so I'll do another one soon...

Dusk or Dawn they look great, mid day not bright enough and to blue.

Still one of my favorite mods, especially with projector retro done!
