  • How To Switchback LEDs for turn signals

    Ok so this is a mod that takes your turn signal light and makes it white while driving and blinks amber when the turn signal is on.




    Pretty simple mod, ddm has the bulb (switchback LED) and the resistors (30w)

    Bulbs are plug and play but without the resistor they wont change correctly.
    The resistor is simple one end splice into the dark blue wire (major) and the other end to the black wire (ground)

    Whats the bulbsize? and which resistor? Load Resistor? (im assuming the 6ohm 30w). Just wanna be sure I order the correct ones. Thanks! Awesome and very easy!

        I bought the 6ohm 50w resistor. Hopefully that works? Also ordered mine from DDM hoping that they'd be good. They look amazing for the $9 bucks or whatever

          I've ordered 3157 bulbs from DDM and Auto Illumination and neither of the lights will stay in the socket... Any ideas?

            Item Qty Brief Description Amount
            3157.60x3528-SB 2 3157 LED, 60 x 3528 SMD Switchback $17.98
            Resistor-6-Ohm-50-W 2 6 Ohm 50W LED Resistor $8.42
            APXBULBH7.8000K 1 Apexcone HID Bulb, H7, 8000K, Pair $15.00
            This is what I ordered from DDM Tuning for my Eagle Eyes Headlights. The H7s are for the low beams, and the 3157 LEDs and Resistors are to do the Switchback Mod. I just installed all of it and it took less than an hour. The diagram is a GREAT help. Only thing I could add was that my "dark blue" wire was actually purple. I'm not sure if that is something that was changed, or maybe he installed his late at night? It was extremely simple to do though. The resistors even came with the connectors to splice into the 2 wires. I will have pics and video up sometime this week. Everything worked as advertised though, no issues. Hope this helps someone!

                Re: Switchback LEDs for turn signals

                So i have the spyders and if i wanted to do this would i connect to the parking light or the light that allows the bulb to flash, since the wires are different colors? Also instead of using the quick connects would soldering work for that too?

                  Switchbacks are in. Sorry for the loud exhaust, my Samsung Galaxy Note II really amplifies the sound quite a bit.
