    A while ago I installed switchback bulbs in my turn signal housings in the bumper to be able to use them as running lights. They worked well like this for the most part. I usually have some sort of bulb failure after about 1-2 years and I have to replace them.

    I was randomly looking online and discovered that someone is making switchback integrated housings for 95-00 (should really be 95-97) and 01-04. It seems like these might be a good solution for people that don't what to combine the function into a single bulb.

    I tried to find 98-00 ones but I haven't come across anything.

    Has anyone purchased and installed these before?

    Reviews (on Amazon) are not promising
