    I ordered some switch backs from Amazon. Installed them Tuesday night, they worked perfectly up until today. Turned on my lights and dtrl and running are amber not white. The white only comes on when the head lights are on. When I first installed them the amber only came on when the turn signals were on so I’m not sure what happened. But no more white. Not sure if I’m missing something but it doesn’t make any sense that they worked the first day or so and now they don’t. Any help would be appreciated.

    • Need a lot more info.

    • Did you put the switchbacks in the front?

    Did your truck have factory DTRL before you put in the switchbacks?

    Did you buy CK or non CK switchbacks?

    Did you wire up the 3rd wire to the light socket?

    Where did you wire the 3rd wire to?

    Switch backs are in the front.

    Yes my truck came with factory DTRL.

    I dont know what CK means and what do you need to do with the 3rd wire?

    Drove to the gym this morning and turned on the lights and everything came on like they are supposed to. When I left the gym they stilled worked correctly too so I'm thinking that yesterday was just a fluke?

    Any help is still appreciated, especially for that third line in my comment.
