.NetSubie Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I shot a video with an assistant to get the full white - blinking - white. In my frustration with the photobucket app, i somehow deleted it... Thanks for all the likes and compliments guys. Good luck on your installs and post up some pics when you get them done.

.NetSubie Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Here is the video of them switching from white to blinking back to white. It starts kind of quick, but the transition back is totally there Enjoy! also it is from a cell phone. http://vid1312.photobucket.com/albums/t530/lsamples09/VIDEO0006_zpse01875ab.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job! I love the audi style DRL lights but hate it when it's done poorly. This is exactly what I would be looking for. Hopefully I'll get around to it next spring.

GipsySpec.B Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hey I just installed my HID's and finally got around to clearing my headlights. I want to get some stage 2 switchbacks like what you have, what's your opinion on Diode Dynamics' products? pretty good? any issues you had with instillation or longevity?

.NetSubie Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 I like em. With LEDs it is always hit or miss. They are great about replacing them if they are doa or go out. One of mine died after a day or so. With my black turn signal housings, i virtually have no turn signal in the daytime. I cant speak for chrome, but other people have been less than satisfied with their daytime brightness. I say give em a whire, and DD should take care of you.

Mat_Mandangle Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If I may, what's the process involved in getting lights behind the grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.NetSubie Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Pop the grill out, 2 screws and a couple clips in the 05-07. There are two holes evenly spaced in the radiator support (above the radiator) i enlarged them for the bolt that came with the lights, and installed.

GipsySpec.B Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yeah Grilles on the 08-09 are harder. There are screws I couldn't get to without taking off the whole thing, bumper and all. Wife has been showing me photos of legacy's back home in Japan with some pretty intense lighting designs. I may look more into aesthetically placed LED's both for the interior and exterior.

.NetSubie Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm going to be looking into some slimline daylighters or something. These led things arent cutting it. Good luck on your endevors, and post up some finished pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GipsySpec.B Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You mean for behind the grille? What version are your Switchbacks? I don't like the lack of visibility the signals have in daylight. I know the company says they have a newer, brighter switchback but no video or photos of the product in use yet.

.NetSubie Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I bought the brightest ones they had, i went back and looked. I ponied up the 65$ for the hp60 according to the email conformation. It is labeled at 172 lumens. I do love them, jusr cant see them in direct sunlight.

.NetSubie Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Badass man. Looks sexy on the red too. Nice clean install. Any info or tips on the install for other future installers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonopolyMan Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Badass man. Looks sexy on the red too. Nice clean install. Any info or tips on the install for other future installers? Yeah for sure. I made the mistake on the first one by not cutting a spot for the end of the led tube to go and had to do it after I already painted it. Make sure you cut a section out in the middle just to the right of the projector housing, but also on the top corner because the led tube is about 1-2cm to long. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/01/e4134508342a049c651624d7a8fbcfae.jpg I also went to fast and did too long of sections super gluing the tube down on the first one, my advise is to go slow and glue 2-3" sections at a time, use clamps (I used bad clips) to hold down the corners as they like to lift up. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/01/a265987583b751fac03e200bbc2c274d.jpg The last thing is I used electrical tape to cover up the bottom of the led tube as the super glue seeps out and looks crappy. I'm not sure how long this will hold up so I'll keep you guys posted. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/01/53012af55cfc754a8d18409102d8900d.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.NetSubie Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Interesting. You glued yours to the plastic trim. Mine are glued to the lens itsself. I dont know if one was is better than the other or not. Being on the lens did use up all the tube, where yours is a slightly shorter distance to cover. Nice, clean install. How did you wire them up? Drl or parking lamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drl or parking lamps? Ohhh you did? I thought about doing that but I wasn't sure which way you went and so I did it this way. If I were to do it again I would do it your way for sure. I wired the amber to each blinker but the white is wired to a rocker switch that I can turn on or off anytime. I disabled my DRL's because I have HID's inside my Morimoto Retroquik projector retrofit and the low voltage from the DRL being on would destroy the ballasts. Thanks man, I'm really digging it! I went to a car meet last night and they got tons of attention. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify - do you have them wired as your DRLs instead of the stock lowbeams, then?
