Clear corners

[2005SnowKon]

Hey guys, ive learned so much about my yukon on this site. Definatly one of the best ones out there. Got a few questions about lighting. Wanting to get some clear corners for the front of my 2005 Yukon. Also wanting to get LED DRL and LED Turn signal bulbs for the front and probably for the rear too since the rear tail lights are blacked out. What would you guys recomment for Clear Corners and LEDS. Thanks, Jake

switchbacks alternate from like 6000K white to yellow when your turn signal is applied and then back to white.

Jason explained it well. As for the lenses themselves I got mine from Jason which I believe he got them off eBay iirc. Check the classifieds in here also.

Got mine of ebay, from a seller in California. Payed like. $26 with shipping included. Fast shipping too. You should look on there.

Much cheaper from ebay-

I think that's the correct bulb #- 3157.

i dont mind spending the money if i have too, i know its stupid but sometimes i just dont trust Ebay Anyplace else you would recommend getting them at?

 

[chauncey0337]

I wouldn't pay their prices but I've heard superbrightleds.com is good or vleds.com

 

[2005SnowKon]

guess im not sure what to do then

I've gotten all my smd led bulbs from ebay China and my experience with them was great. I've done all my domes, maps, door panels, cluster, vanities, reverse, drl's, and courtesy lights with leds from an ebay seller from china and they all still work. Only problem I've ever had with ebay was with a seller from CA. I bought an led kit and they all blew except for the courtesy lights. If you don't trust ebay then go with one of the two sites I listed. Only complaint I've heard about either of them is their prices.

true ill try ebay. already have the DRL LED bulbs... now just need to get the switchbacks right. Is that the link to ebay that you sent me before? Also what would you recommend for the tail lights. I heard you cant run three LED lights in a series because of the resistance. Any truth in that?

 

[chauncey0337]

Yeah that ebay link was for the switch backs. Make sure you go with a seller with a good rating.
For taillights I would recommend the sonar led tails. #1 choice for TYF members. They also come in smoke and clear-

And I'm not understanding your question about running three leds in series.

 

[2005SnowKon]

Chauncey i know this may sound silly but do you have to do anything special when installing those switchbacks. i found them on the site that or ordered my DRL LED lights from, They just going into where the factory turn signal bulbs go in the front right?

 

[chauncey0337]

Not a silly question. Yup they go in the stock location. You may also need load resistors to prevent hyperflashing. I'd order them, install, and see if you get the hyperflash. If so, you'll need these that you can also get from ebay-

Bringing this thread back from the dead, but I am electrically retarded. I was searching and never found the answer to this question.........

I got switchbacks from a board member, but I have hyper flash. I am going to add resistors, but do I put them on both wires going to the bulb.......so I need 4 total, or do I just put it on one wire? If just one wire, which one, and how do I tell them apart?

Thanks again for helping a retard!
