LED's and switchbacks...here's what mine look like........ Can't remember who asked for vids and pics......but here they are.
----Is this how they are supposed to work?----
I think mine are going on about 4 months and doing ok. I also let them blink for about 10 minutes each side when I first put them in to see if they would blow. They're doing great still. Took about 10 minutes to put them all in.
So:
Headlights off...they just blink amber.
Headlights on....they blink between amber and bright white.
And before anyone asks:
LED's are 48 SMT Tower. White-Amber (AW) $27.99 each. autolumination.com
Flashers...are EC 12 Flashers from Bennett Auto $11.00 each

During the day with no lights on they are amber
When I hit the signal they blink amber
At night they are white when headlights are on
when signalling they blink amber only.

Mine are always white with headlights on. Amber in the daytime with headlights off like stock.
autolumination.com may have an LED that operates opposite how mine do. Run white all the time, then only blink amber. If they do, just get the clear lenses like I have and you'll always run white.

I modded my running lights/flashers on my bird. When my headlights are off, there's NO lights on but they flash (white) with the turn signal. With the lights on, they are on white and blink off with the turn signal. I got sick of the bulbs burning out from staying on all the time if the car is on.

Man, I have no idea how to do that. I just did this because I never wanted to have my lens crack because of the crazy heat thats always present with regular bulbs. Then water gets in and fries the socket out. These new lenses I bought are clear colored and sealed very well. Ebay.

WTF? I have bought protectors, load equalizers, switched wires around. It still doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Did you just hook these up and they worked?

You sir make me angry. J/K. I have an EL12 flasher, I wonder what the difference is? I wonder if the wiring on the 98' is different. Sometime when you get a chance can you look at the wires going to the socket and tell me what order they are in (If you are looking at the side that the bulb goes in).

I put in two EC 12 flashers. Not EL 12 flashers. Maybe thats the problem.
