Looks like one bulb is toast and the other is on its way out.

Well screw switchbacks.. Too many headaches...

Anywhere I can get white LEDs that are white 24/7 in there? I want them to be similar in color to my HIDs.

Must have been a lag/glitch in the system just then. I just double posted along with you and saw two other people do it in another thread I just opened.
Weird.

Vled's doesn't carry the switchback 48s anymore, only the 60s and 92s...hopefully the 60s aren't the same as what autolumination sourced.

Sorry, my bad. I actually do have the 60's from vleds. They are the type 2 and I haven't had any issues, but again, I haven't driven the car that much yet.

Is there any way that you could figure out if the power going to the sockets is just a dirty supply?

Given that me and Brian both are having problems, I don't think so.

Not to bring this back from the dead, but I have had the 48's AW's now for a couple weeks. They are fine where the 60's I had didn't last a few days. Also as I said in the beginning of this thread I have LED's all the way around front and back and there are no problems as long as you have changed to an electronic flasher. EL12 is the one I am using. One more thing I did notice about the 48's vs. the 60's is when the 60's signaled during normal DRL mode they flashed a white pulse before the amber came on. The 48's don't do that. I wonder/think that has something to do with the problem? Don't know, but they have worked fine for a while now. Just an update for anyone else who has had questions.

I drove the car to work today for the second day in a row and no problems. They are typical DRL lights during the day or without the headlights on, but switch on the headlights and they go white. Turn signal on and they flash yellow/off, then back to white at night.

Any updates ? I was wanting to do this because I know the factory bulbs will heat up the housings and cause cracks , letting water in and corroding my sockets. So I think if I buy new housings and put these LED lights it will solve my problem . Any one else want to chime in ?
