It's winter, a lot of the cars are in storage! Just wait until spring rolls around... The 48's are reliable. So reliable, that I'd buy them, if I cared. Bigger priorities right now... (see sig)

FWIW, my experience begins on page 4 of this link > https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...rans-am-4.html

For those who've asked, I've had mine on and active since my activity on the above thread. My only issue is that I purposely wired one of the equalizers wrongly, I will probably correct that tomorrow when I wake up. Other than that, i get compliments on them all the time.

Ordered my 60-led smt switch backs (AW) amber-white and getting my flasher when they come in. The OP said that's all you need and some other people have been running 60 led's no problem. I'll replay when I get em installed. It's 10 degreas here so it may be a while

I tried the 60's and they burned out, replaced them with a new version and they burned out. So I went with the 48's and those have been going for a few months...... good luck with the 60's

Did you read the whole thread? The general consensus was that the 60's don't work. Like Danny said good luck.
