V-led Type2 switchback issuse - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok so i bought some vled type2 swtichback turnsignals and installed them yesterday with 6 ohm resistors. Type 2 switch back are supposed to stay white normally then when the turn signal is applied the alternate to amber/off/amber/off ,etc. These do that until they are on for a while or the car alternator kicks in they then behave almost like type 1 bulbs. Which do a amber/quick white flash/amber when the turn signal is applied

I saw on a couple other forums that some have had this issuse with these but they have no update for over a year. My question is has anyone else on this forum experienced this and if so how did you resolve this? I do have an email out the v-led on this.

Thank Guys

I have had them for a year and half now with no problems. That said it may be a grounding issue or a faulty resistor. Check {with gloves} if both resistors are equally hot to touch. If you find a cooler one swap it out.

Then obviously double check all wires and connections. Also make sure the resistors are not too close to other electrically sensitive parts. Hope this helps.
