I have the LEDs installed. However I don't know what wire to tap into to make the amber switchback occur. Tried taping into both sides and they didn't work. One wire it green for the left side and one is brown for the right. How do I fix it and what wire do I tap

One side of the resistor goes to the green wire with black stripe, the other goes to black. Ignore the other green (that's the running light wire.)

The resistor wires can go to either side; there's no polarity.

What's the resistor. And do I have to tap into two wire for each side? I'm lost unfortunately.

samkon

So the driver side I go to the Green black stripe and the passenger side I go to the black wire?

I bought the switchbacks from Diode Dynamics and did the DIY same as you. I remember there being 3 wires (green w/white stripe, green w/black stripe, and a black wire). I also had the resistors and was fighting this install for what seemed like hours; no combination of resistor - wires seemed to work. I can verify with you however, that I was failing at clipping the resistors down all the way - you have to push really hard and firmly get that wire in there! If I remember correctly it is both GREEN wires on each side in the front. Maybe the wiring coloring is different depending on the car production plant, but that is how it was for me.

PS don't try calling DD customer service - they don't know. When I tried calling them they had no info and told me to call back if I ever figured it out.

So the freeman do black both need to be attached one each side?

Im just trying to get these LEDS driving lights to blink amber....... still... anyone

Try the ACC instead of the parking light then tap the turn signals?

Resistor to +\- of the turn signal wire. The third wire from the LED bulb connects to parking lights.

If still having problem let me know, we have the same ride.

Alright I have the box that it comes with that all the wires come from. Positive and negative are hooked to the battery. There's no acc relay and couldn't find parking light fuse so I wired that wire and tapped into the top corner running lights to turn on and off when the headlights do. I have the wires for the led lights connected they also both have another wire that is with the connector for the led wires and it say to tap into the turn signal positive wire, I don't have a tester so I tapped into what I thought was the positive. Didn't work, tried the other one and still nothing. There also is 2 other wires that come out on the battery side but it says they are ment for the strobe function.

is that the actual/same LEDs u have?

You need to get a multi meter plain and simple. The only thing guessing will do is Short something out.

samkon

Yea same LEDs. But that doesn't matter the problem is I want the LEDs to be able to blink with my turn signals. I tapped into both wires going to the turn signal. The one I pretty sure was positive and the other after it didn't work.
