Changed the boring amber directionals with V-LEDS® 5K 92 LED Switchbacks. Also snipped off the signals 3157 bulb sockets and soldered & heat-shrinked an extra 3157 replacement socket for the DRL's (daytime driving lamp) so they also flash. Replaced the 194 side-markers with 5K LEDs. Now everything matches the 5K HID low beams.

For those that are not familiar with switchback technology, the same bulb switches from white to amber. Amber is required by law for front directional signals.

V-LED's (http://www.vleds.com/)

V-LEDs code 10K35 will give you 35% off!

Just used the code for cluster, dome and footwell LEDs and saved $13.98 was $39.95, I payed 25.97 with FREE SHIPPING!

These LED's are much brighter than the ones off e-bay plus they have a 1 year warranty.

Use the Sylvania fitment guide for the correct application HERE (http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/applications/automotive-lighting-systems/Pages/lrgmain.aspx)

There in Washington State and if I order on a Friday the LED's arrive in South Carolina Monday plus FREE SHIPPING!
That's three days cross country over the weekend to my door!

Damn your single cab makes me miss my old truck. The extra Switch back really brightens it up! Switchbacks are the ish. Love mine! Next I want to retro in some projectors.

Thanks man that Ram looks sweet!

Over at GMFS there is a group purchase going on for kits or anything in the store 25% off at The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications (http://www.theretrofitsource.com/). Need just a few more people. Were getting new members from other forums just to receive the discount. I need the retro but I have to find some projectors at a decent price first. May jump In just for a set of Morimoto HID bulbs.

I'll be getting my parts from http://shop.retroshop.us

He did my tail lights, and is a friend off a Ram forum I'm on. You may wanna check him out as well. Good prices, bomb ass work, and above all a very knowledgeable/honest guy.

If I can find a clean set of OEM Denali projectors... one of our members makes a nice pair of laser cut adapters that make the retro a simple bolt on. The Denali headlights i've come across are either in rough shape or way over priced. Once I find something the retro is a go!
