switchback turn signals with toms tailights
I'm having an issue with my front switchbacks for turn signals. They conflict with the toms tail lights or my winjet headlights...currently I have the module for the switchbacks as well but it's not installed. I'm no wireing expert so I need help.
Currently all are installed. My switchbacks only flash amber when the signals are turned on. The entire rear lights are out except when I hit the brakes. What's the fix?? |

If you have a new light control relay, install it. the stock ones are designed to work with filament bulbs for rear tails and since toms are LED that might be freaking out your car.
And when you turn on your signals, your switch backs are supposed to flash orange so i dont really understand what you mean by that. From the sound of it, did you wire up your TOMS correctly? because with the stock tail lights, there are two sets of wires that run to each one. One to run the red leds and another set that does the turn signals. I think the problem may be you might not have plugged in the turn signal wiring

I meant the switchbacks only light up amber when the turn signals arevengaged. They do not light up white at all. So when the headlights are on...they sit dark |

Here's some more evidence to a faulty Switchback set. I had a weird problem where one of the switchbacks caused the turn signal corresponding to the side of the car it was installed on to light up at the dim setting (in between blinks). I tried three separate relays before discerning that the switchback was indeed the issue. I then pull both lights, and went trial and error to discern that it was one of the switchbacks. Diode Dynamics sent me out a new set and they worked good as new. Bring this up to the vendor you bought the switchbacks from. It's 100% them if you have tried a different relay. |
