So i've always loved switchbacks because of the white and to me they just look way cleaner. I have my old ones in my new truck, so i have had them for a while now. 2 of the resistors and bulbs are about 2 years old, the other 2 bulbs are about a year old, and the other two resistors are new. I am using V-LEDs 6OHM 50w resistors, one on each bulb (so 4) and V-LED's 92 LED 5k 3157 switchbacks. Now on my old truck, i first did the flasher mod and they would flash right, but the white would struggle to come back on after the blinker. I tried 5 or 6 diffferent setups over the year and could never figure it out. They were working about 50/50.
Now on my new truck, i just popped the bulbs in and the white lit up fine every time. Now my next problem is the hyperflashing. I obviously expected it with no resistors, so i bought 2 new ones (the ones listed above) and wired them up using this diagram that is supposedly successful
Now i have done this, and even though the white never fails to come back and burn strong everytime... they hyperflash sometimes. My old truck never hyperflashed, resistors or not, flasher mod or not. I can be driving now in my new truck and have the blinker on and it will hyperflash for a bit, then stop, then hyperflash in no rhythm. Then, sometimes it will flash perfectly.
Any ideas? I also had a pretty hard wreck in April 2013 with them and they came out of the sockets and 3 of the leds are dead now. I called VLEDs about that though and they said that should not be a problem.
Any help would be appreciated... i have like $160 in these things and have yet to see them work properly in the two years ive had them
