I'm imagining using switchback LEDs which would give me an amber blinker with a bright white backup in the turn signal lamps. That seems to be a way of avoiding moving the blinker into the red taillight, which I'd like to avoid. Any advice from somebody who's done it, for somebody who can't find too much detailed info? Thanks in advance for any heads-up you can pass along.

David.


Joyride is correct. You can't do it that way. Get the turn as tail kit from diode dynamics along with there bright LED to turn the old turn into a reverse light. It'll give you more than enough light. As you can see below, the upper reverse lights from diode dynamics are putting out way more light than the Valenti bar LED's below.
