    I did once, but i switched the headlights back to normal bulbs because they wouldn't melt the ice on the front of the lights and i kept having to clean them off and the beam pattern sucked. Also make sure you get the resistor LEDs for the turn signals otherwise they will blink to fast. Other than that they were awesome!

    I thought it was Illegal to switch you're DTRL/Front turning from amber, they look white in your pics.

    He might also have "switch back" lights. Which are white when running, then switch to amber when you activate the turn signals.

    Correct. They switch to amber when the turn signal is activated

    Thanks man! And I'm guessing that I just type the number in along with "Led" and the right one should pop up?

    Sugar Silva,
    I was interested in changing my DTRL/blinkers in my 08 to Amber LED's(from superbrightleds) but keep hearing about hyper fast blinking. Could u tell me if you used resistors on your DTRL's or how you did you mod? Thanks. I'm trying not to cut into wiring harness & want a plug and play solution if there's one out there.

    Hi there, yes I am using resistors. Without them you will get the rapid blink. I am not running the DTRL mod but I am using CSjumper's DTRL LEDs. Unfortunately, I can't speak with a lot of confidence on the actual install because I live right by Chris (Jumper) and he has been installing my lights for me. I would recommend PMing him with questions and considering buying the lights he offers. They are some of the best out there.

    I had to put resistors in line with my LED Bulbs for my blinkers I used on my Trailgear rock defense bumper.
