Autolumination "Switchback" Signal Light

[cklinh]

About a year ago, I asked whether it was possible to not have the parking lights on while still having it function as signal lights... one solution was to use 3156 bulbs (which have one set of contacts) instead of the stock 3157 bulbs (which have two sets of contacts)... you just have to position the bulb so that the contacts are active for the signal lights and not the parking lights...

I think I just found another solution... although at $25 a pop, I'm not ready to experiment just yet...

Basically, it's a 3157 LED bulb that lights up white when one set of contacts are active, and amber when the other set is active... I figure having a white driving light would be better than having none at all...



Anyone feeling adventurous?

That's interesting... though isn't the 3157 the Stop/Tail bulb according to the chart? The Rear turn signal is 3156 and the Front turn signal/parking light is 3457.

Also - any mods needed to the wiring/relays to switch to these LED bulbs or are there built-in resistors, etc?
