Oh well, so this will never become a DIY thing then... I wonder if DD wil show a good solution, same for the wiring etc.

I understand your disappointment, but I imagine he does this for living and wants to keep a sort of 'exclusivity' on the opening.
About wiring, you can find a lot of info in this thread, or asking here. I believe DD solution should be wired about the same as the other solution.

[MENTION=9987]Diode Dynamics[/MENTION], can you confirm that the new LED's for the white mode are 6000k ?

Can't find the info on the product's page.

Some vids of final setup here. Apologies for poor quality video - partly as the DRLs are so bright the camera can't handle it :cheers:

Maybe I'm wrong or it's a quality problem of the video. But the tri-bars don't seem to be 6000k LED's and now doesn't match the new switchbacks ... :shrug:

vieirinha33 · Jul 26, 2016

yea... as john said... looks a bit strange and not "homogen"... but the switchbacks looks nice!

gojensen · Jul 27, 2016

if anything I'd say it's the switchbacks that look out of place... :-/

I had the same problem with my switchbacks from Poland, they were just too bright compared to the tribar so i had to remove them. Now it is way better

John577 · Jul 28, 2016

The switchbacks, for me, are the nicest thing in front of the car (in addition to the tri-bars) so I'll never remove them

The only thing noticeable in the video, is the color matching with the other lights... Everything should match the same color, the best white color is 6000k (but that's my opinion) :cheers:

acull2000 · Jul 28, 2016

John577 I think you're right - I didn't pay too much attention to colour temperature - I got so excited when I saw switchback solution I just ordered!

I am told DRLs are 5000-5500K (as Papinist), so I may swap to his switchback which seems to be a good match.
[MENTION=14834]John577[/MENTION] do you think the Osram CBI bulbs (supposed to be 5000K) would match DRLs (5000-5500K) better than stock Osram bulbs (4500K)?

With your boards in 5000-5500k, Yes I think the CBI's will match better than the stock HID bulb.

Okay, seems like there really was an error in my gifs of the tribar comparison so the EU driver looked way slower than in the original video. Sorry about that. The problem was that I recreated the turn signal by using single frames and cut them together as a gif.

Now I directly used the video, so each frame is converted right into the turning sequence.

Now you can totally see, that's is way harder to see if each bar is lighting up seperatly
