Switchback LED's

[shizzy]

So I just got some headlights and the crystal clear corners
I am probably going to get these LED for the turn signal lights.
Their called SwitchBacks basically their white and when you hit the turn signal they turn amber. Pretty good idea I suppose.
Heres a link from eBay that I will purchase from.

Ill take some pics when complete.

Ooh, i was actually looking into these a year back as well. $40 per tower seems a little bit expensive though, no? Autolumination has them for $20 if i recall correctly, but it's been a while. You also may need to splice in resistors to prevent that superflashing that naturally tends to occur.

I saw that but im confused about the slicing part. Is it self explanatory once I get the parts?

These will work?

The link in that auction gives a pretty good explanation of what it will take to install.
I think you also should keep in mind that they should be sized for what you are replacing. If you are replacing a 10W bulb then a 50W resistor might be too much. The resistance in the circuit is measured and if it is not within a certain range, you'll get the idiot light on your dash telling you a bulb is out.

interesting I will keep that in mind. I am still waiting on my parts to arrive. I wonder how the installation process will go with my projectors.. I am bound to run into the 4 pin and 5 pin issue almost certainly. I will let yall know how it goes. Ill take some pics for a DIY as well.

i was wondering what to wire the postivte and neg ends to, of a high density led (http://www.ledstrips8.com/flexible-led-strip-lighting-high-density-singlechip-flexible-led-strips-c-32_34.html). i want to have a Flexible LED Strip Lights (http://www.ledstrips8.com/flexible-led-strip-lights-c-32.html)
look simlar to the audi r8, and can i wire them into the lights cords to pick up the 12volts and have them turn on and off with my led strip (http://www.ledstrips8.com/)

Please don't... it'll look terrible and cheap without custom housings for each individual LED on the strip, not to mention a Mercedes from the 90s cannot pull of the look of a car 15 years newer than itself.
