Decided to throw some 60 smd switchbacks from iJDM toy into my front turn signals. I'm really happy with how they turned out! They are a bit whiter than the Garax 6000k headlights, and v-led parking light, but still look great! At the moment I have them wired into the parking lights, but I may switch over to an ignition power source with a switch in the cabin. When I turn on my signal the white light turns off, and the blinker function normally. I also installed a new turn signal relay to correct the hyper flash, as I installed leds in the rear turn signals as well (isf tails).

So no more amber? That's awesome. Was it difficult?

They were a bit tougher to install than I originally anticipated. You first have to determine which leads on the bulb go to what: 1 lead for white illumination, 1 lead for amber illumination, and 2 grounds. Then I used the DIY by SLK_DDS located here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...0-minutes.html

You do have to shave the bulb slot on the headlights to fit the iJDM toy bulbs in as they are to large to fit. I heard the V-Leds will fit without modification, but they were out of stock, and I wanted the 60 smd that iJDM offers vs. the 48 m-smds offered by vled.

How about a video and what relay did you go with for no hyper flash? So 6 led bulbs on 1 relay and no hyper flash this i want.

Looks pretty cool!

So you have them wired to your parking lights AND turn signals right? And by "turn signal relay" did you mean the electronic flasher that you install near the driver's knees?

Just curious, why?

rcJten

Yes these are wired to both the parking lights for white illumination, and the turn signals for amber illumination. All I needed to do was add a wire for white, as I used the factory 7440 bulb holder.

The turn signal relay is indeed the one near the drivers knees. I picked it up from iJDM as well. It's only $8. It is a plug and play replacement. My only complaint, and this is so nit picky, is that the ticking noise it makes when the signal is on is a bit louder than the factory relay unit.

I went with the 60 smds after reading all the reviews available. I have always been happy with v-leds products, but most people stated their switchbacks weren't as bright as the competitors due to less smds. If for some reason these bulbs end up failing, I will get the v-leds.

If you are really wanting to get the brightest possible you could always go for the autolumination 60-60 switchbacks. On my iJDMS there are 30 amber leds, and 30 white leds. The autoluminations 60-60 (actual led count= 60) leds are dual color, so there is essentially 60 leds for each color. The only downfall is they are $30 each, so $120 to do the fronts. Combined with the fact that they come with no warranty. I read a few reviews in forums, and some claim they have a high failure rate.

I'll take a quick video when I go home for lunch today so you can see the operation.

Nice mod, but you do have to take off the bumper to change the turn signal bulbs right?

Also do your blinkers in the front still blink when you lock/unlock door? I remember someone did LED signals too with relay, but his blinkers don't blink when lock/unlocking the door.

that looks dope. looks like they are most brightest when your parking/city lights are on, and when the headlight is on it dims down quite a bit. is this correct?

Looks real good, but a little too technical on the wiring for me to jump into.

rcJten

They stay the same brightness regardless of whether the low beam is on or not. My iPhones camera was just trying to adjust to the brighter light of the headlamp.
