Is it a single relay for the group of turn signals or a relay for each pair of turn signals?

Also how hard is the install for the front switch backs?

What color temp can you get the switchbacks in? Is there anything remotely close to the OEM color range?

Ours are closer to the 6000k range. We only offer 1 color.

We decided to go with all white first. We'll push the switchbacks after that.

White will be in later this month.

Give me a month for the switchbacks.

Why replace the relay instead of just replacing the flasher?

(genuine question)

Been said. "Hyperflashing" aka the blinkers flash excessively fast do to lower resistance of L.e.d.s. so instead of the kinda ghetto way which is install resistors into your wiring, the relay does the same thing more elegantly and 100% plug n play.

We decided to push them back a bit. Probably at least 1-1.5 months. We didn't see too much interest.

Is it a must to disconnect battery before installing the relay?
