I'm afraid of those led ones if one led goes out then you have to replace the whole housing. So I went with clears and 3157 led bulbs. If a bulb goes out it's easily replaced.
You can see them in my sig

Where did you buy your led can I get the link?

They were on eBay and I have not been able to find them again. The link I had when I bought them is dead.

It was a couple years ago. I just searched LED bumper/parking lights and was lucky to find these without amber at the time.

Sorry I can’t be more help.

Same thing I thought when I had my NBS, and you can run switchbacks

I have my quad switchbacks, one of my first mods ;)

Do you have a video of yours flashing? I was wondering how people handled the corner bulb with the quad switchbacks. I think it would look weird if it was white and alternating while everything else was flashing orange, but it would also look weird orange while everything else was normally white.

The only way I could think that wouldn't be so bad would be if you got the kind of switchbacks that alternate between white and orange as they flash, then when they are white the corner bulb would also be on and be white.

That's the way mine are. I have white led corner bulbs and the switchbacks go to white when flashing. It gets your attention.

There's a type 1 and a type 2 style switchbacks. It's based on the design of the bulb.
I have the type one with insane bright white cob 194 corner bulbs that grab people's attention like red stated.
Type 1

Then these are type 2

Not my videos.
