This is another video of the side blinker mod with switchback LEDs...

FIRST YOU MUST DO THE SIDE BLINKER MOD FOUND HERE:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...=side+blinkers

Then I installed a Switchback LED found here:

This is the diagram/extra step of how you would have to wire it to get SIDE MARKERS AS TURN SIGNALS like a "ViciousLED-like" switchback LED.

to go from WHITE-AMBER-WHITE-AMBER when the lights are ON.
to go from AMBER-WHITE-AMBER-WHITE when the lights are OFF.

However, I don't have this relay installed yet but maybe somebody else will. :iono:

PARTS YOU WILL NEED:
Qty. (2) - 12VDC/10A DPDT Plug-in Relay
Radio Shack Model: 275-218 | Catalog #: 275-218
Qty. (8) - 3 Amp Diodes
Radio Shack Model: 1N5402 | Catalog #: 276-1143
Qty. (16) - 1/4" Insulated Female Spade wire connectors
Qty. (6) - butt connectors
16 Gauge Wire
Soldering Iron w/Solder
Wire strippers

INSTRUCTIONS:

Pins 7 & 5 get diodes and go to ground.
Pin 8 goes to the turn signal wire harness on the headlight housing and gets spliced into the turn signal (+) wire.
Pin 6 also goes to the turn signal wire harness and gets spliced into the park light (+) wire with a diode.
Add a diode from pin 8 to pin 6.
Pins 3 & 2 get wired together and go to the 194 socket. This will be the wire that operates the amber side of the switchback.
Pins 4 & 1 get wired together and also go to the 194 socket. This will be the wire that operates the white side of the switchback.

You basically wired the relay as a stand alone unit with the diodes attached to it and the wire leads that have to run to ground, the turn signal harness and 194 socket terminated with disconnects that allow them to be spliced in or connected.

cut the the original 194 wires about 4" back from the socket and attached the wires that run from pins 1 & 2 to those 4" wires. Connect your ground and then splice into the turn signal harness. Plug the switchback bulb into the socket and test it out. If the bulb lights up amber for parking or white for turn, just pull it out and turn it around.

I hope this all makes some sense. It's not as complicated as I probably made it sound.

Hope this helps!

How much blinker fluid is needed?

Question: If I use a regular 194 LED in the side marker, single color on/off type that's not a switch back, do I still have to follow this DIY or simply follow the Side blinker mod DIY?

@Turbo86 just the side blinker mod. If you dont use a switch back LED, then the side blinks on the off phase.

Anyone have a working video of this? Right now I'm just waiting on my bulbs to arrive. Otherwise I have everything waiting for them. I just wanted to see pictures of the working signals. Thanks.
