Just glad GTR is producing modern amber LED upgrades. Most stock incandescent bulbs are insanely ineffective [especially behind common clear turn lenses] in the tropical sun and don't even blink all the way off like an LED. Glad you compared i-LED to stock for a visual analysis.
We have the same issue in Texas. A friend of mine says, “when you buy a used car in Texas, you know the turn signals will be in perfect condition because they’ve never been used”.
I got the gtr i LEDs switchback probably wouldn't recommend them in my opinion I've already had to warranty out two sets first set one bulb started to get dim within six months second-set one of the bulbs got dim within one year. I had the v LED tritons in my car before trying the gtr the Triton lasted close to five years

2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate owner here! Great review, demonstration, and detail on installation. I’m really leaning towards the switchback version of this product. Question tho, my vehicle doesn’t have daytime running lights so I’m assuming the switchback between white and amber will only work IF I have my headlight control switch in the “parking light” orientation? If my low beams are ON will the switchback bulb be active or only when I activate the turn signal? Hopefully my question translates clearly… Thank you and also thank you for the time and effort you guys put into your content for us consumers.
The switchback option will add a DRL, so anytime the parking light is on you will have a DRL active. When the turn signal is actived, then it will turn amber for turn signlal function only.
@@HeadlightRevolution thank you for such a swift reply. It totally slipped my mind when my headlights are ON the parking bulbs are illuminated, as well. 🤦♂️

HELP!!??!!..... Love your LED videos.... But, I have a Big Question for you.... Does ANYBODY (worthwhile) make a Replacement LCM for a 2002 Buick LeSabre that is LED Compatible (Hyper Flashing)? I Really do Not want to install a resistor.. Too much heat. I've Just finished converting ALL the lights (Interior & Exterior) in my wife's 02 Buick LeSabre (Limited), to LED's except for the Headlights... which I'm going to contact You, for. Thank you, in advance for any "light" shed on this issue... hopefully.
@@seangowan7441 I know what you are asking. The resistor/inline thing appears to be 40watts and less ohms, its also longer than most, and its also encased in what probably is an effective heat sink/shield because they used as much energy for the bulb in the simple Bright holy god ness (they do use a lot more watts than cheaper LEDs for good use), so that allowed them to use a smaller resistor and they also engineered it in such a way. the 60watt (whatever ohm they were) ones I put on my Park Avenue test tail lamp harness ended upbeing way way too hot after 5 minutes only flashing turn (not a combination light or anything, only a turn on that lamp) and the trunk was open with the resistors in 0 degrees wind and they were too hot to touch . So Instantly I knew I couldnt find a way to tuck or mount them without having issues. I am going to keep looking around to find out how much heat exactly to expect from them, because I have a tail lamp that hugs a sheet metal with a felt backing on the other side(interior or trunk) and between the tail lamp and the sheet metal is where the harness of the 2 tturn lamps on the lid mount, and there isnt much room. It hugs the plastic and wiring. So I am going to make sure they can cooperate otherwise I may see if i could use a small heat shielding tape on the surrounding stuff too. Its definitely a lot less battle with that module. Alternatively, I was going to look into the 3157 extension harnesses where I could put the bulb in the lamp housing, then run the wires through the pass through, and then maybe far back enough where I can mount the resistor/flash module on the other side where it can be more free and open to be safe if so needed. I also have 2 body mounted lamps but those are easier to find a spot so not worried there.

@@HeadlightRevolution It's just hard to determine the effectiveness of the bulbs without being used in more projector type housings for cars. Thank you
Pretty disappoined after buying these. I'm not sure if its these bulbs or if its the car I have which has a very sensitive lighting system. Im not sure theres another car in the world that monitors the current of the parking light, but my 2013 Dodge Dart does. If the parking light does not pull 5 watts exactly, it will show an error. I bought the i led 7443 switchback bulbs and the white parking light shuts off after 2 seconds. Going to try the VLEDS Triton because the i Led is a fail.
Some switchback bulbs will require an additional resistor because switchback uses half-and-half functions split between white and amber, meaning it doesn't communicate the same voltage as the solid color LED would. Additionally, Dodge vehicles are extremely picky when it comes to CANBUS integration with LEDs whether it's headlights or turn signals. These are the resistors we recommend adding to the turn signals for proper function: www.headlightrevolution.com/50w-6ohm-gold-resistor-ACC.RES.50W_2?quantity=1
@@HeadlightRevolution I had both turn and park light circuits with resistors wired up to them. Pretty sure it's just my car. Does headlight revolution not sell the v6 triton?
Yeah, I don't really get it. I've never even noticed the fact that the light reflects onto the headlight part, and I'm guessing the vast majority of people haven't either, but then switching to LED doesn't make any difference, they still reflect when they're on. And I don't think anyone can really miss a standard turn signal - if anything the brighter they are, the more distracting, especially if you're sat behind somebody at the traffic light at night. Same with brake lights it's harder to miss them. My car has LEDs factory fitted but it wouldn't have been a deal breaker if they didn't.
@@severnsea the point is the amber when they’re off. No crap when they’re flashing amber they look amber lol. It’s just preferences. If you don’t notice the amber and it doesn’t bother you that’s cool
I have a question, I used a similar system from VLEDs the Triton system, for my 2001 Ford Crown Victoria, I never did put rear LED signals as I was waiting on new tail lights. However with the use of the load resistor, I had occasional hyper flash issues. Would the incandescent bulbs and load resistors be fighting one another? As in would different voltage readings from LCM be thinking there is not any front turn signal bulbs.
the only reason why i bought these is because i chrome deleted the turnsignal housing therefore the light being dim due to the housing not being reflective anymore. these work great if you retrofit your headlights
it has red reflector use red bulb. I’ve checked Toyota Highlander user manual it says all it’s braking blubs and rev blubs are no color (no amber or red)
If using an LED, you match the color of the housing so the light emitted is visible. If you used a white led in a red, you get pink. not sure what it would in a amber housing. Clear housing a white bulb would make an illegal color for a amber turn, for example, but just match color if there is color, if not color, match the bulb to the function legallyy speaking. so clear for reverse white, clear for turn amber. tail... I think tails CAN be clear but they are 90% of the time coincided with brake or at least the reflector meant for visibility when not turned on but I could be wrong.
LED bulbs lights are better than the factory I just took factory later of mercury LEDs are better. I have no complaints. People can see those bright lights when you’re backing up. If they can’t see it is Steve must be blind Know what I’m saying Bruh

Would a white i-LED make a better reverse bulb than the GTR Ultra reverse?
Most likely not, Since the reverse bulbs are intended for just that they will perform better!
@@HeadlightRevolution Thanks for the input!
I'm not too sure about that foam seal. Foam breaks down over time unless this is some special alien foam.
it wont degrade if its just sitting in the housing. Now if you coastally remove and install them they can degrade.
A simple question, do all cars need to add an adapter?
I have a 2017 GMC Sierra truck
I want to see a direct comparison with this to the v6 triton
We could do a side by side one day maybe!
@@HeadlightRevolution that would be great since both are similar and in a world of their own untouched by anything else.
