Dunno, but since my DRLS wont work with my switchbacks I have a like new pair of 60's I got from v-leds that I used for like 2 mins that I will sell for $45 shipped. Someone can save some $ that doesnt want DRL's

Got the new 60's in the mail last night. I'm going to put them in tonight and drive my car to work tomorrow and see how they hold up. I'd recommend holding off until I can put a little bit of time on the bulbs before ordering these new 60's. I'll report back to Autolumination as well as in here with how things are going.

Skytower, quick question. What color are the bulbs when the parking lights are on(NOT headlamps)? I know someone above said it depends, but I thought when it came to parking lights all the colors on the bulbs were the same. Are yours amber or white?

The original set I had, when the parking lights were on (fogs on, headlights still down) they were white. Now since the circuitry was different, I don't know how these new ones will behave. I'll know tonight.

Thanks! I am a little nervous to buy these because I PM'ed somebody about their switchbacks they bought and they blew within minutes (I believe it was Danny, but I am not positive)

Well my new and improved 60's just S&^t the bed. They worked perfectly when I first had them in and a day of driving fried them.
I put my original 3 year old 20 LED Switchbacks back in and all is well. I can even smell the 60's and can tell they just got cooked. I emailed Autolumination and hopefully they can make this right.
Hope others have better luck.

And I was incorrect before, when the parking lights are on, the switchbacks are amber. They only turn white when the headlights are completely on.
They look sick though when they are white and I have my 5000k 55W projector HIDs from BLSolutions fired up.

Ah damn, thats the killer for me. I would ONLY want them amber when I was using the turn signals. I guess I will just use regular LED Towers for my DRL's.
Are white turning signals illegal? I've been running clear bulbs in the DRL's for a couple years so I doubt I will have a problem, but I was just wondering.
