Switchback problems
Switchback problems I just purchased the 48 LED SMT switchbacks for my car from autolumination and cannot get them to work correctly. When the lights are completely off, nothing is on and then flashes amber, which is normal. When the parking lights or the headlights are on, both the white and amber are on and then the amber flashes while the white remains on. I switched out the sockets on the turn signals because my other ones were corroded and didn't work correctly before I installed these, could this be my problem? I am just extremely frustrated since I spent $60 on these bulbs 
Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Yes, forgot to mention that. I replaced both flashers with the EL12's. all exterior lights are LEDs besides the side markers as of now as well.
I'm thinking maybe I got the wrong sockets when I replaced them. Carquest 57-4868 sockets. About to just go cut the factory sockets off of a junkyard T/A since you can't get the factory ones without buying the whole harness.

welcome to my world....I did the same thing, got the bulbs from autolumination, got new sockets, housings, and flashers. they would not light up, I contacted autolumination, they said there was no way that both bulbs were bad, so I said f it, gOt regular amber leds from superbrightleds, and now have amber drls again, but they won't melt the housings, but i will never do any sort of business with autolumination again.......EVER!!!!

Wow I did the exact same thing and have the exact same problem...wish it didnt take over a month and a half to get my ******* housings and flasher so I could have found out they didnt work and got a refund...TOO LATE NOW and they arent even bright...at ALL, my 194 bulbs from superbrightleds are WAY brighter
60$ down the drain

I bought some switchback 60 from jw motoring. Good reviews from the vet guys so I figured I try them out for 50 bucks.There under lighting for c5 vets. I order resister that he recommended for 7 bucks to prevent hyper flash ,but didnt need them.Only had them for a few weeks seem to work fine.

probably going to call a salvage yard and have them cut off the sockets of a T/A since I'm guessing that is my problem because no one else seems to have a problem, but the people that installed new sockets.. go to oreilly's, that's where I got my new sockets, no issues, just make sure you put all the wires together like they were and not to mix them up....
Im not even gonna waste my time doing that for these dim *** bulbs, probaly just get some amber or white ones from superbrightleds, and sell these to some ricer lol but im curious if that works
