WeissLicht LED Switchback Signal Bulbs

Hello,

Has anyone tried these out?
https://bimmian.com/Accessories-for-...-Bulbs/?veh=30

I've seen many posts of people removing the "egg yolk" look by using Phillips Silver Vision bulbs or something similar, which essentially makes the lights look clear when they are off. However, when the lights are on while driving, I believe they are still orange.

The bulbs above are white while driving, and amber when the turn signal is on.

Thanks!

I personally use their amber LED bulb and have the side markers coded out. I know that I can see the amber light shining on the signs on the highway with how bright they are

I have just the regular white ones and the fogs. They are very bright but color is not match for my 14 xenons. They also flicker on start up even though they claim they wont on both. I read flicker can be coded out.

If you run led in anything, they're going to have to be coded.

IMO a white led turned on all the time will take away too much from the headlight looks and Corona (Angel Eyes). That's why I opted to go for the WeissLicht Leds

1. Coded them off while Headlight
2. Only works for Signal
3. No "egg yolk".
4. LED tends to give a "modern-err" touch to the Headlights.

I ordered these by mistake, the switchback bulbs have 1157 socket while the signals are 1156. It will not fit since the f30 socket is single function and the switchbacks are dual action
