Yes, I have switchbacks. You won't have to alter original wiring if you use crimps. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to install both. Totally reversible and untraceable. I may have a set of 6ohm resistors with crimps I will be selling soon. I have gone front and rear signals with full LED's, so I switched to 3ohms.
So, if you go with LED's front and rear you'd only need 3Ohm resistors?? What if I use a canbus bulb (built in resistor) in the back and the switchback in the front with no resistor, would that work??
And what kind of bulbs (front & back) and resistors did you get? If you don't mind me asking. All the ones I've seen online are 6ohms; and of course I'd prefer to have 3ohms, less heat/resistance.
Thank you.
Basic ohm's law and V=IR.
Yes, a 6ohm bulb will be equivalent to one incandescent bulb, whole a 3ohm will be equivalent to two incandescent. Two front LED turn signals = two 6ohm load resistors. Vice versa for the rear. Four LED turn signals = two 3ohm resistors OR four 6 ohm resistors. The front area easier to tap, so go with two 3ohm. 50watts should do the trick. Granted the load resistors will exchange power into heat, there is most than enough room in the front fenders to have them just dangling with solid crimps.
I am using a TYPE 2 (white LEDs shuts off during amber LEDs engaging while signaling) white/amber switchbacks with some absurd number of SMDs. 120 LED's each I believe. Can't complain about them for the $30 something i got them for.
