Switchback assistance

Hey fellas and occasional dame, this might have been answered before but i forgot my forum shovel.

I installed led white/amber switch back and resistor for my housing melting dtrl. However, all im getting is amber. I did check the bulbs and it does have white/amber leds.

Any ideas to get the constant white to turn signal amber to function? Otherwise im just solid amber, which is still something.

 

The switchback bulbs give priority to the amber. So, in other words, if you put power to both amber and white, the bulb is going to light amber. The amber is currently being powered by the factory DTRL circuit. If you want white DTRL lights, then you need to eliminate the factory DTRLs and provide your own new circuit to power the white LEDs. There are various ways to defeat the factory DTRL.

 

Is there a thread that you know of thats covered this? Ive browsed through lighting a bit and havent quite answered my own questions.

 

1 way is to cut a wire. Another way is to replace the factory Y harness and flasher with the non DTRL (DRL) grey plastic jumper cap and flasher. I personally prefer using the $8 grey plastic jumper cap and the Diode Dynamics smart tap flasher.

Truck on, lights off/park, parking break off? Still no white?

 

Correct @ColoHox only amber
