I've been hearing about that clicking a lot lately. I have leds in my front turns and in my tails also. I think people are getting the clicking when they only have the front leds. I used to get it every once in a while but not since I got my taillight led bulbs.

Ive got the same clicking issue. Ive been in touch with a Tridon rep. Last time we spoke he was buying an OEM flasher to compare the differences between the two. Hopefully I will hear something soon from them. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks, I read the other thread too so I can see this is not uniques to my flasher. I am going to get LED tails but that will take more money than I have right now so as long as its not damaging the flasher, I am going to cut out a piece of styrofoam to cover the flasher and get rid of the noise. Not sure if I am going to keep these just yet. They are a little slow to respond when turning on and off the turn signals.

Correct, as long as its just parking lights, they are bright white. Turn signal or emergency flashers change them to orange flashing, pretty cool actually.

I'm building my own projector lights soon so I'll have HIDs in there to take care of that problem. I have another set of lights now and I just have to find time to open up and paint them and then order the projector kit. 5100k HIDs and 5k switchbacks should be pretty close to the same color, at least I'm hoping it will be.

Switchbacks by themselves.


Light output of the switchbacks, not blinding anyone anytime soon but not bad. They are brighter in person. This is in pitch black darkness.
Hey man, those are pretty sweet. Can you get a daytime pic of those. I want to see how noticeable or unnoticeable they are in the daytime.

How much you get the LED's and flaher for?

I will get a daytime pic, they are very noticeable in the daylight too. They are brighter than any halogen daytime running light on normal cars. The flasher was 15.00 at my local Pep Boys.

The only reason I ask is because it is the turn signal. I don't want people hitting me thinking I'm going straight but have my blinker on.

No chance of that, they (orange and white) are brighter and more vibrant than stock.

They are much brighter than stock
It was a cloudy day but still bright enough that you can see what they are like during the day: http://s737.photobucket.com/albums/x...t=100_1066.mp4
