Just got these. I didnt know that the switchback bulbs also have an auto dimming feature after 2 seconds on both white and amber functions. Obviously its so they don't get too hot but I kinda wish they would stay that bright all the time and put a fan on instead.
Will these start hyper flashing if on for extended period (like changing a tire on the side of the road or being pulled over) seems like a lot ofresistors will overheat after a couple of minutes.
When I installed my V6 Tritons, all I had to do was switch out the OEM flasher for a heavy duty flasher on my Ford E-350, and on my 99 Ford Ranger, I switched it to a LED Bulb flasher from NAPA. No hyperflash, or resistor needed.
I have these in my 2019 civic Hatchback. 7440. They are beautifully bright Amber. But they were such a pain to install into front turn signal socket.. Ultimately I'm happy with purchase.
It's crazy that they fit in my old factory headlights, but they dont fit at all in my new aftermarket headlights.....The screws are to thick. They go in, but I can't turn. Really sucks because I don't want to return them, I'm thinking about trimming the screws down and hope they turn and if it still doesn't work, I lost $150...
@RetrofitSource It's okay. I found the reason why it didn't fit. I thought it was the screws, but when I removed the headlamp and saw the bulb base (what the gasket/seal sits on) a bit too big to fit in the opening (on the aftermarket lamp) and just touches the edges before the screws can enter the slots. I had to shave the bulbs base diameter down to 1.25in, same as what the OEM sockets base measured. Now, the bulbs are fully installed and work beautifully. I could've shaved off the opening from the headlamp, but I didn't want to risk getting shavings inside the lamp even with tape covering. This was on a 01 Lexus GS300 by the way. Thanks.
Will these work on the 09-18 Ram? Have tried the Lasfit switchback and GTR Lighting switchback that are error free and both work with the truck off but as soon as the truck is turned on it stops working and doesn’t blink or come on so wondering if the I-LED will work correctly with it
How do they work with wireless connections? My 2017 Elantra has in the front blinkers a connection that once turned into the housing the bulb works from metal points in the plastic connectors in the base that turns into the back of the housing.
These are a must with a lifetime warranty. If I ever want the set it and forget it led penultimate product. I would go for sylvania zevo and GTR-Lighting ultra series, both of them with a lifetime warranty. It’s rear to have any led aftermarket product to a lifetime warranty.
The adapter is based off your OEM bulb size, for the Sierra, you would need the 7443 option. www.theretrofitsource.com/7443-turn-signal-bulbs-brightest?quantity=1
We don't have max lumens listed... but the light distribution is key on this product. Here is another review that shows just how bright these are: th-cam.com/video/RWe6hq-Qb80/w-d-xo.html
Another video of a guy with a Ford Flex claimed it hyper flashes “after” being on for a while…He also made claimes of heat and sequential blinking cuz his front signals uses 2 on each side🧐… I questioned hood installation😒
Some Ford vehicles have a function called Forscan, where vehicles are programmed for halogen bulbs from factories. To fix the hyper flashing issue, we would recommend using the plug-and-play resistors and re-programming the car through forscan.
@Ishmael Greene All I had to do on my 2 Fords was switch out the OEM flasher for either a heavy duty flasher like in the case of my 06 E-350, or a LED Bulb flasher from NAPA for my 99 Ranger. No hyperflashing, and no resistors needed.
@@akmarksmanThe thing with newer vehicles is that they do not use the traditional flasher relay that is easily replaceable. The flashing of the turn signals is controlled through the vehicle computer, meaning that you would need to have specific bulbs and/or need to reprogram the vehicle computer to stop hyper flashing.
In my personal experience, having rear leds can be blinding for drivers behind you. Just like how your not suppose to stick leds in a reflector style headlight. Can you comment if this is an issue of concern?
This actually would not be a bad thing….. the purpose of the brake light is to make aware to the driver behind you that your stopping…. Imagine this in a heavily dense fog or heavy downpour on a highway…. I want them to see me stopping or slowing down… 👍🏼
@@chile2610 The reason why I ask is I have some lasfit leds for my rear turn signals. In my opinion, they are too bright cause when I stand behind my car (at night) with the emergency lights on, they cause a blinding effect if you stare at them for too long. (Imagine staring at the sun for 5 seconds and then driving) Thats pretty much what I image the driver behind me feels like. You dont even have to stare at them to be blinded cause they produce so much glare. Also, the newer Audi LED tailights are super bright but not blinding. A super bright led bulb may not always be better since it doesnt diffuse the light like a LED tube does. I dont know... In my opinion, it is dangerous. Its common wisdom to not stick leds into your front headlights since it will blind drivers, I feel like the same logic should be applied to rear leds. Again, I can only speak for my lasfit led rear turn signals which are too bright. I have no idea about these GTR lights and it would also depend in your tailing housing. Too many factors so I suggest if you do install any LEDS to stand behind your car at night to see if they blind you.
@@feliiiik You could put a tint on your tail lamp or just your turn signal that is a little more to the aggressive side if desired, or just a litttle bit to cut down the intensity
Very pertinent question. I was in traffic a couple of weeks ago behind an obsessive driver constantly accelerating and slowing instead of going with the flow and it was extremely annoying. Under normal driving it's not annoying. The biggest advantage for an LED stop light is the instant turn on. That being said, I'd love to see dual intensity lights for day and night use - it would avoid glare. The biggest culprits with excessively bright lights in my experience are emergency vehicles - at night their lights are so bright they can be a safety issue for other divers.
I know the lasfit led turn signals bulbs are more affordable and remains good quality bulbs with a built in canbus or anti flash. But honestly, these GTR lighting sets are the best lookin items, that are very high quality, such a beautiful look. Makes ur vehicle look more premium. For my vehicle, the 2015 lifted Scion xB. I’ll definitely would love to have four sets. Both front and rear turn signals, rear brake lights, and reverse lights. So that’s what around $520 bucks. They are worth it. Yes that’s damn insane but the quality and style, and function, it’s the best of all worlds to have this for the price. You get what u paid for, but this will be worth it. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 @TheRetroFitSource

I'm in conversation with them past few days asking the same & that is basically their answer that you gave...
Can you guys do a comparison to VLEDS? Side by side and front view
We could possibly do this at some point in time!
Uh. The v6 triton is bright close or far. They're so bright they reflect all over the reflectors.
These are a bit better 😉
I couldn't find a statement how much lumens it produces
We didn't rate them for lumens because they are not used for seeing down the road. They are just used for you to be seen.
Brighter, but $260/pair brighter? Please, show us a visual comparison vs. stock. [price correction: $130/pair]
$260?
I'm seeing $130 on their website
@@jj_cruz yes but that’s $130 for each [1] bulb.
I'm seeing $130 for a pair on Headlight Revolution website as well man @@LawrenceMarkFearon
We have done a video on the 3.0's when they were new. Here is the link below.

@@jj_cruz you’re right. The price is $130 for 2 bulbs. Still a high price.

also the most expensive...?
Gotta pay to play! The good isn't cheap and cheap isn't good!
@RetrofitSource That's a monopoly mentality, and the world isn't steering that way anymore
@@Breezyaon1but there’s few that still do
That Z!!! Ugh I just got all new X-VF for my Z!
Shoot us some pictures on Instagram of them lit up 🤩
@@RetrofitSource once I get my flasher relay in 🤙🏼
So do these work for brake/tail lights on the chevrolet tahoe? 01-06 the armor ones do not.
Yes they will! Or try the new XB LED Bulbs 👀
Finally, Someone who understands, and I would definitely buy them, hell,, I’ll buy 2 pairs😤
They're available on our website now! 👏🏼

DRL compatible?
Yes there is a switch back option you can choose.
Oh and the vleds has a diffuser which distributes the lighting.
These diffuse the light as well, just a bit differently 😊
Man I’m thinking of purchasing a pair
Me too, does anyone think it would be overkill to put these in a 2020 Corolla XSE?
Do it! 🤝🏼

We haven't tested them on an 09-18 specifically. So we can't say for sure. Sorry!

It does not work with connections like these.
since when did Ryan Reynolds do TH-cam videos about cars???
What a compliment! 🤣
How much brighter is this then the vleds V6 Triton
It's a good deal brighter than the V6
@Brown Dude Racing There are the new V6 Extreme bulbs. The switchback version has 1000 lumens in White, and Amber its 1400 lumens.

A simple question, do all cars need to add an adapter?
I have a 2017 GMC Sierra truck
The adapter is based off your OEM bulb size, for the Sierra, you would need the 7443 option.

@@RetrofitSource When ordering, does the lighting product consist of a complete set of two LED lights with two adapters attached?
All this talk and not one mention of actual lumen lol
We don't have max lumens listed... but the light distribution is key on this product.

Needing some for my 2020 expedition
