Thinking of finally pulling the trigger on these. Do the new bulbs match the gills? I know the old ones were a lot bluer.

I have had mine for a few days and are they working perfectly and install was fast and easy. All the bulbs went in and were a tight fit.
Same for me... Complete kit was a great upgrade...

Thanks Diode!!!:thumbsup:

I just wanted to post an update:

The replacement Diode Dynamics bulb is on the way and they shipped it out the next day after contacting them with the connection issue. Thank you Diode Dynamics for the great customer support!

I ordered the pair off of Amazon as suggested, and installed one on the side missing the DD light. Yes, I'm driving around with 1 Amazon, 1 DD light, but hey, I need a turn signal, this isn't a BMW :) . The Amazon bulb color is more blue than the DD pair, though the connection is solid... when it stays in. As I was driving, the Amazon bulb fell out of the connector and was laying in the light housing. I may have hit a bump, but nothing that drastic, since the DD bulb on the other side of the car stayed in place!

Fishing it out was not fun, and for those who ever run into this issue, simply using a small Flathead screwdriver with double sided tape on it will fish out the bulb with no problem. After that, I taped the Amazon bulb to the connector and reinserted it, so hopefully it won't fall out again while I'm waiting for the DD bulb to arrive

yeah personally I have just tested the ebay ones I have linked here on the forum, not sure if theyre the exact same or not. if they are the same you need to dremel or use electrical tape to hold them in place. mechanically the light itself works great but obviously DD custom tooled their mustang specific ones after having that issue

Did you have to run a load resistor?
Nope. Unless you want the turn signal sound to be normal. You get the galloping sound with any of the switchbacks unless you run the resistor

I use these from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YDN4NQW/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work great and function just like the DD ones. One side fit a little loose so I put some gorilla tape around it to make sure it doesn't fall out.

I went through 3 sets with DD and just got tired of putting bulbs in and out. They may be a great company as far as service goes, but they need to step up their product quality.
I just installed these as well, work great just a wrap of electrical tape for more secure fit and I was good to go!

I know old thread just updating!
