I am back with a new light MOD. This time I received a sample EU compatible Switchback!

This is how DD describes their US version :
This kit includes a pair of front turn signal bulbs which are "switchback,". When this bulb is on as normal, with your headlights, it shines a pure white color. Anytime you activate the turn signals, it flashes bright amber. Two colors in one bulb.
To make them work together with the parking lights on EU cars you have to connect the spare cable to the parking lights.

Mount the resistor on a metal part so it cools of as it might get hot during a long amber blinking period.

Time to get this ugly amber bulb out of your car and get it all white !

Use this to hook it up to your parking lights (not included):

The result looks very Ok if you ask me!

Where I found them :
http://proledlights.nl/t20-switch-back-leds-white-yellow.html : € 39.95,-

I turn these on and use them as DRL....

No they are not my drl's, I put the light switch to the first right selection (starting from off mode : parkinglights). Select them kind of manually as DRL :), if I use the DRL mode it's still the 2 round lower ones which are illuminated.
It's more the fact when runing lights are on you now get a full white stripe instead of the ridiculous :doh: little squares and also get the amber tint out of it.:headbang:
