Has anyone installed led switchbacks in there front turn signals?

Thinking about the Morimoto led's and from my understanding on our 2015's, we will need resistors. I currently have white signal led's and needed them to stop hyper flashing. Mine are already installed so all I need to do is get the switchbacks

what year model are you inquiring about? I have an 09 and I installed Switchbacks. i love them. I didn need to install with resistors

I have a 15 and I believe he does as well. When I put just the plain led's in I got hyper flashing so I needed to install resistors. As soon as I put the resistors in the flashing stopped.
The 15's have the funniest system out. We have to add resistors and capacitors to just about everything light related

I put LED switchbacks for the front turn signals on my '12. I had to use resistors as well.

If you don't mind me asking, what brand did you go with?

they were from ebay

Switchbacks

Resistors

Been running them since April and have not had a single issue. Even when i had a moisture leak after the retrofit. still working just fine.

Ok, I was looking at the morimoto brand ones. I have Spyder headlights but just got a set of projector and going to be switching everything over. I have to go to hid's instead of my led's for low beam and high beam. I want to keep the other headlights with what I have in them now and go all new with these new headlights.
Thanks for the info

I used some on my 2004. Never had problems.

The Morimoto's are nice for sure. I bought these just to try out since I was not sure if I would like the style or not. Turned out they were pretty decent and the white matched well with my 5500 HIDs. I will probably go with the Morimoto's or DDM when these finally give up but for the money these are hard to beat.

I have a 2015 and have tried 3 sets. Two of the sets were from eBay, just cheap ones I picked up basically for experimentation. Both of those worked fine without needed resistors. However, they were very blue rather than white which I didn't like. So I picked up a set of the Morimoto ones. Much better quality and they are also much whiter and match my HIDs and LED fogs very well. With those I did however have to run resistors which wasn't a problem. Before I installed the resistors they worked fine as far as function, no hyper flash but they did trigger a bulb out warning on my dash. Resistors took care of that.

The eBay ones really weren't bad for $8, I really wanted a color that matched my other lights though.
