Default Switch Back Help

I have some clear corners with a blacked out housing (Depo corners) ready to be installed in a 2000 Pewter 3800 Camaro.

I am looking to get switchbacks (3157) and then the 194 bulb. I like the clear/white light look, and then the turn signal needs to amber.

Which switchbacks leds are recommended and seem to work consistently for everyone? Where did you purchase these leds from, I understand that i will need the el12 flashers as well. I am assuming that i could probably just get clear 194 bulbs as well. I plan on keeping all the lights in the back stock for now. So no need for the full electronic flasher.

And before the hate mail comes:
Trust me i used the search bar and spent over an hour reading thread after thread and have ended up without a very clear answer.


Thanks Cptobviouss

the electronic flasher was only a few bucks more than a EL12......and it might fend off any problems with the switchbacks

I have noticed that SuperBrightLeds do not have switchbacks. And that is what i am interested in otherwise i can run the amber leds with the clear lenses.

The Electronic flasher should still work with only the front light being led correct?

These caught my eye:

I got my 3157 switchbacks on ebay for $26.95 from the seller silverimage3. I started out with just regular ebay led's and they sucked in the daytime because they were hardly visible but these don't give me any problems.
