Default where to buy switchback led and what is needed for install

I need to know what is needed done for a switchback led install. I have tried to find the leds on the net with no luck are they called something else besides switchback. I checked [non-sponsor link removed] like some said and cant seem to find them. Also if there is a write up that would be very helpful. I didnt know if this is just plug and play or if there is any modifiying needed to be done. Any help is appreciated

No modifying. Plug and play. You also need an EL12 flasher

Go to the site you mentioned and follow up the URL with "/switchback.html"

I believe it is the 20 led #3157 and it seems most people turn to AutoZone for the flasher. Please, someone correct me if I am mistaken.

You are correct. However, you can only use the 20 LED towers in camaros. Anything bigger won't fit.

The same site that carries the switchbacks also carry 5 led 194s (site + "/194.htm"). I have only begun reading about lighting changes, so I can not positively say these would work or not. If so, I will be purchasing these as well.

Does anyone have a problem with the Radio after installing the switchbacks? I've noticed that my radio reception goes out when the blinker is on and when my DRLs/Headlights are on. I tried a regular bulb 3157 and didn't have the same problem. Anyone know of any fixes?
