I was thinking of purchasing a pair. What do you mean by losing functionality? As in not as bright as they should be?

Yup. You can't even tell that they are on when you are inside the car. Unless it's completely pitch black outside then you can see a faint glimmer of light, but that's also only if your car is almost kissing a wall.

The DRL LED's are LED only and not meant to be used as a hi beam. The alternative to this is purchasing an HID kit for your hi beams in order to maintain an actual hi beam over just the DRL's.

Any update on the Switchback availability? I have sent you a few PM's, but haven't heard a response yet...

Also, as others have asked, where do you install the relay? Does it just splice into or clip onto the turn signal wires anywhere to create the extra load or is it like others are saying and it has to be installed in the steering column?

Our relay replaces the stock flasher relay. You simply unplug the stock unit and plug our relay in, no cutting, splicing, soldering or anyting. It is located on the steering columpast where the plastics stop, no pannels need to be removed to access it.

If I buy the front/back Turn Lights LED's with the relay, this will fix the hyper blinking on all four lights?

(Probably a stupid question as I think there is one common relay for the four lights but just making sure. )

You're correct. One common flasher relay for all turn signals.
