Adding switchback functionality to front turning lights

[friendgr]

I also replaced the parking lights with LED's and these switchback have the same white brightness, so when the headlights are on, there is a long white uniform stripe shining underneath them.

That's exactly the goal

So, to be perfect you need to add one more last thing. The original DRL ;)

US version has AMBER instead of white, but popular mod is to change turning light with switchback so to have it WHITE.

So, if you decide to follow exactly the US version, you ll need two amber led lamps per side. No switchback.
Correct?

 

[papinist]

yes. But I want to do the popular mod

They will not work on our cars.

None switchback will work, as we only a 2 wire socket and the US Mustang have a 3 wire socket (if I remember right).

The bulb you spotted has also not the same socket, the EU mustang is WY21W socket and the US Mustang is a 7443 socket.

John is right, the one you linked won't work on our cars (EU as well as AU I think)
But there are other models that could work: our socket as John said is WY21W that is the same as 7440 (similar to 7443 but with only 2 contact) so a different switchback should work.
The third contact missing from 7440 socket (parking signal) is provided with a separate wire. Look at this auction:

(select 7440 model)

I've just ordered that.. if only those stupid viabox\aramex haven't lost my package!! :rant:

The product looks really good. And seems very easy to plug and to wire the cable with the parking light or the DRL cable if you want have the white light all the time on.

Yeah, still this sad story with viabox\aramex :doh:

Did you ordered again all the stuff ?

Nice, congrats for your brother

Then it's easier for your, put all the deliveries at the place you'll live for 3 weeks and take it in your luggage when you go back home

Indeed post it to your hotel

 

[papinist]

I can't fit the rear decklid in my luggage

 

[YLA G]

Think thats not impossible to Carry it over (like skies)

 

[papinist]

Yes but I'm scared about how much air france will charge me, not to mention customs at airport..
Better to have it shipped itself. Maybe for quicklift and switchbacks I can do it. But then I need to tip the hotel guy

Air France will charge you a lot with customs...

Better you go in a Muscle Car shop in Vegas to buy the stuff directly and hide them in your luggage

And guess what ?
There's a shop located in Vegas : http://www.mustangdepot.com/

 

[papinist]

That shop doesn't seem to have quicklift hood struts, and for the switchbacks we know how difficult is to find the right thing. The only way will be have them shipped to a hotel.
However, I'll travel through Utah, Arizona and California and will end the vacation in Los Angeles.. maybe there are other specific shops there too

Last year I was in Vegas too and went to visit the Shelby factory and museum
