Preview: Diode Dynamics LED Turn Signal Housings!

Questions:
- Does the turn signal, when activated, cover the entire span of the light or just the inside portion as is currently the case. This is ugly to me. I want the whole entire light to blink.
- The tri-bar demo doesn't do it for me. The rear lights are tall, think bars of light. This looks like you took a three separate regular lights and just set them to sequence. Maybe I'm not getting it or maybe that demo is not fully telling. Doesn't remind me of the back of the car at all, if I'm honest.
- Would love an option that can be coupled with something in the rear for white or amber strobe lights activated by a switch or possibly even by the hazard switch. Totally unnecessary but so are most light modifications in general if you think about it.
- Will the DRL be the exact same white color as the tri-bar thing in the front headlights. Presently all LED setups for DRL in the front are a "more blue" color.

Also, please make something simple that stops the m'fing fog light from turning off when I activate the turn signal. So stupid. Don't care what the law is, that's dumb.

In my humble opinion, the three-segment sequential is really horrible. Could be the simulation software, but it seems a mid-70s light. As [MENTION=21494]wildcatgoal[/MENTION] said, rear lights are tall and thin, these are short and fat!

However, this is only my opinion, I already have my 30-eur china switchbacks that are working flawlessy so I'm not interested in these

A. I need these.
B. I can't wait to see a video sim, or even a photoshop of what this will look like, particularly with the DRLs hooked up.

Just please let it be less ugly than these

they're ugly and look like crap, and it's just more "oh these are ours and branded ours" when someone else did the work and they just slap their name on it like they made it.

We should have some pics and videos of the product in action at the end of this month. Thanks!

Sub'd! Been holding out on switchbacks in hopes something like this would come.

Quick shot! If it looks like the factory one... well, that was the goal. Going to be quite a bit different when it's lit up though!

Would those fit a GT350 or our turn signals different shape?

They will fit the GT350 as well

Same turn signal housing

To add to Nick's post, yes they fit, and yes we also accounted for the slight difference in the bumper design, as the GT350 bumper hides more of the turn signal housing than normal.

Tinted lense version and I'd consider ditchingmy $180 Triton V3 LEDs

I can't see this image or the one in the first post :(

Lol. This is the first time I'm seeing these ^ thanks to your link but I actually think they look pretty cool! Haha.

In any case, I currently have the Diode Dynamics Switchbacks (as well as the DD interior LED's, and sidemarkers). They've been working great and look good. I do think the white light part is a tiny bit too bright but I'm very happy with them overall. That said, although they are LED, they are still illuminating from a single light source/bulb.

I definitely like the idea of a fully illuminated LED turn signal. Can't wait to see the finished product from DD. It would be cool to see what they would look like if they were made similar to the DRL's. Basically like a translucent housing lit with indirect light "glowing" from behind. However, I'm guessing that wouldn't fly in regards to DOT laws.

I'm definitely interested in the final product. Unfortunately, I'm a little late to this party so I haven't seen the tri-bar flashing animation everyone is talking about (I believe DD took it down) but if I'm understanding correctly, those of you who don't like the flash will be able to turn that function off and just have all of the LEDs illuminate at once.

I believe someone else asked this but I didn't see an answer. Will the amber LEDs also turn white when the signal is not in use?
