That link to them now has them at $449.00 a set... that's crazy. Any links to a more reasonable price?

Went to the parent site of the ebay link, and picked up a pair and they arrived today. They look great. I'll have to get some nighttime shots.

No updates - have been spending money elsewhere instead of on electronic flashers. Sorry guys.

I ended up buying them directly from their website, even though they were listed as being backordered, so I'm happy it worked out.

I need to pull the car down off the lift and take some pics as well.

Just an update... I gave up on them and went to some cool white 7.5W LEDs for the moment. I just bought these to try out, though.

Interesting to see how those work since they "fire" (shine) forward and render the reflector useless. IMHO, they all work for some time, then one or both fails. I only have one set of leds (in turn signals) is a car that have lasted for a long time and they are in my daily driver truck, maybe worked for over a year? Watch now one will fail...LOL

The resistors are supposed to be separate (you would need to wire them in). I'll let you know if the resistors are even necessary.

Agreed. If it looks anything like my focused CREE LED reverse lights, it should draw your attention pretty well due to the brightness and glare .

If they fail, I'll post up and let you know. I have lots of spares (LED & incandescent). Not worried at all.

Hum, thats odd I have a flicker too on the passenger side...led 3157s too but only while running, when car is parked no flicker when park lights are on...

Question

Is that $50 for one turn signal or both?

Both. I actually bought a different style of switchbacks to try out, and have a pending sale for the set used in the first post... Can't post about the different style switchbacks until I get my car back from the transmission shop.

any updates? Just curious. I have the same problem. I've tried load resistors and different sockets with no luck. I've even disconnected the DRL system. white either stays on, or flickers. I'm ready to give up. how are the other leds holding up? I'll let you know if I have any luck.

I've been running them with no issues. Very bright and they look great.
