Lmao renamed the video to→ how to do a sequential switch back by accident... 🤣😂😅😆💩
Do you have resistors or the flasher relay to prevent hyper flash?
Are your parking lights amber or led ? I wanna get them to be led when they're on beside signaling
Mossman381 is there anyway I can contact you?
@@jonathangoodwin7309 I am only on CZcams. You can email me if you have a private question. Go to my about me page to get my email.
Lights look good... Never heard of switch back before..Im 56 yrs old..thanks for showing us Mr. Mossman.. 👀👍🤟
I wish you showed the wiring part, so I can do it on mine
Glad you swapped them. They look really good with the inside to outside order. Also would be cool to have 4 switchbacks and use the one set of wires with pigtails to the other sockets. Would be some big DRL’s. Thanks for the video!
Looks good. I did that on my lb7 a few months ago. Converted drl to parking light and put profile switchbacks in. I like the white with parking and amber with turn.
I’m from Wisconsin too!
Thank you for the video
Cool, the sequencing is a nice bonus!
Nice work Mossman, looking good. I really like that sequential effect also.
Me too.
@@mossman381 you have your parking lights disabled? Jst noticed they wasn't on, are they LEDs as well?
Cool video I like how your signal lights work that's bad ass
i just got a new 2002 GMC sierra 3500 and im gonna do this to it . ive been watching a lot of your upgrade videos today getting some ideas this looks great on this truck
The GMC of that year was a little different than the Chevy. They actually make some pretty cool headlights for the GMC for some reason. I think I remember the Denali headlights were good looking as well.
some of the greatest things that we have were discovered by accident
you y
just discovered 1
and for that, ill subscribe!
soo nice mean looking Truck!
Looks good I only use those lights in my stuff there super bright
I like the LED for its brightness. I was turned on to the LEDs watching you do the back up lights. You provide good tips.
Accidental sequential lights!!! Awesome! If only we knew how to purposely do that lol
Liked your video. Thinking about doing to my 87 and 11
I like it. The sequential effect is cool.
Me too.
@@mossman381 Too funny. I didn't realize that I had commented on this one before.
At least my opinion didn't change. Yours either.
Like Yogi says: It's deja vu all over again. LoL
I like what you did with your front bumper your rig looks identical to mine.
Looks clean and mean!
Neat upgrade!
Turned out better than I thought.
On the driver side why are there 2 green wires tied to the 1 blue wire in the connector you are touching? Where does the second green wire go or either of the two green wires? Thanks
I want it to do it on my car but I’m not sure if I would need the 3 wires socket instead of the normal one which came with 2 wires only.
Wish you could help me out!
I honestly like the fact that it runs like a sequential light! I have a 2008 Saturn Aura which is a GM product so I am hoping that I can run the same light without a resistor. I was looking at some of the JDM cars and they all need resistors so I am hoping that I won't. It's a nice look having the switchback. I am running the Hikari 9005's for my Hi's, and the Cougar H11's for my Low's and they look really nice inside the headlight housing! I just ordered the switchback turnsignals, led sidemarker light, LED rear turn signal, and LED fog, and LED reverse light.
The sequential thing was done by accident. Didn't really plan it that way but I did like the way it came out. LED is the way to go.
Awesome mod dude! I do like the DRL's on the outside bulb. Looks different. Those things seem bright too!
You gonna do that to the 03?
I just purchased some halo headlights for my 04 Tahoe. I was thinking about running my halos wires to the park n signal lights so my halos run normal and blink as a turn signal!!
Looks really good thanks did not see the dog
Rusty was being lazy.
Looks cool
Electric grease is your friend. I like the new butt connectors that seal and solder at the same time.
What happens if I put only 3157 LEDs. Not the switchbacks?
Those are the same pigtails I ordered for the Yukon (same issue with the tab, but it was expected), I switched from the 1157 sockets to 3157 because the LEDs where much cheaper and readily available. Considering it's a temporary mod, since I will be building new a set of headlights eventually, it was the better option for cheap temporary parts. Plus, I think I got a decent video out of it when I get around to editing it.
I picked up some AC Delco ones for another project I am doing. I am hoping they are a little better quality. Those plugs worked fine and are cheaper. The LED's fit really good inside the sockets. They seem like good quality except the locking tab.
Nice lights
Great mod!!!
How do you connect rhe wiring? Where does the third go?
I may try to see if I can figure something like that out for my 1990!
Why isn’t the side marker light on?
looks good
Very nice!
Need video of what wire you tamped into
The sequential lights most likely is cause you tapped into your plow wiring and the extra resistance causes a bit of a lag for that circuit
Pretty cool👍👍😁😎
I used AUXITO switchbacks for my '03 chevy Silverado and buying a led hyper flash relay switch to
Very cool! Another good video. What does it look like during the day?
Question, you only showed the right side. You switched the bulbs around so it looks better, which it does. But if the switch back is blinking slower then the actual amber led, how does it look on the left side since you switch those too. Curious!
You have to swap the bulbs on both sides.
Desactivaste los Giros de los Espejos?
So is side marker light eliminated
Quick question.. my middle lights are my driving lights, and the lights closest to grill dont turn on ever. Not sure what they are for? I only have the driving light that turns to blinker and the far outside small bulb. Any help for me on why I dont have just the blinker light?
the one close to gril are the day time running ligths middle are blinker and park ligths
Is there anyway you can explain how you wired it a little better
Very nice
So wat wire did u actually go through
Try with the parking light on too - I bet they will blink exactly together. However - I like your adjustment to get a more suitable sequence when parking light is off.
I think from the looks he wired the turn off the side marker because they blink to that’s what’s causing the sequential blink because the factory side marker light blinks than off than front from the looks he don’t have it hooked up unless just for marker light
How you get it to sequence
Planning on doing this model to my 02 Silverado. But what did you do with the little side marker 194 bulb?
I already had LED 194's. Just go with a good brand like JDM Astar or Auxbeam.
But why dont the small side marker 194 turn on? Isnt that suppose to turn on with the turn signals
Looks great!
I really like how it turned out. It's a little different than what every other chevy has.
@@mossman381 do you have a video of how you did that light bar on your bumper
Also do you think itll work properly with switch backs in both connectors?
This is the bumper build Playlist: czcams.com/play/PLZwy_pK9cqiOYm7jkDusSl4atWcq9bns1.html
You can do both with switchbacks but then you won't have any amber parking lights.
My led switchbacks are backwards. 2014 Toyota tundra. The white light is on with the headlights then switches to amber when turn signals. The Drl is amber. Why is it backwards?
Hiya did it come stock with running lights just curious?
Hey bud do you have any idea how I can get LED amber DRLs? I’ve been looking but I have had no luck, mine is an 04 silverado. I’ve seen them on newer cars and I love the look, thank you
I believe a 3157 will fit in the DRL socket. You just won't have the turn signal function in that bulb. Daytime running light is a 4157 if I remember right. These should work: amzn.to/3XDIRy9
Where can I order the original gm valance like the one that’s has the center peas cut out for the fog lights
I custom made the bumper on this truck.
Can you just ground black wire to metal with a ring terminal and bolt?thanks
A ground can just be grounded to metal but it can corrode and not work eventually.
Hello Great video i wanted to ask you i put these switchback bulbs on my 2011 Tahoe and the turn signal flashes real fast any idea what can i do. Thank you
I have the same issue after putting these in my 2009 Silverado. I think an electronic flasher will solve the problem, but I couldn't find one last time I looked. The flasher is behind the dash, so it takes some disassembly to get to it. If I can find the fix I will post a video.
Nice jobs are they brighter than your headlights
can anybody actually explain this in a manner that someone like me can understand. I get most of it but u say the blue wire doesn’t go to whatever u said. Does this completely get rid of the drl if so that’s fine but i need to know if i get another socket so a blue pink and black or whatever the colors r. I changed my actual turn signal sockets a while back to these so colors should match up perfect what do i have to do to make it work?
Not sure how to help. I made the video to show everybody exactly what I did. If you are getting hung up on colors forget about the colors and just look at what the wires do. The colors might not be the same unless you have the exact truck.
Just ran across you video and it awesome..bought me a lb7 duramax and going to do the same you did with yours.just want to ask you where did you buy your front bumper it looks awesome.
The bumper was custom made by me: czcams.com/video/Oro6xDMqS9E/video.html
🔴 How'd you fix the #hyperflash, I didn't notice any resistors when you showed your wiring ❓
Get a flasher that is made for led lights.
@@mossman381Hey man, thanks for responding. Nice truck. Did you put it in the link?
Something like this should work if you have a 2002 and fits man other GM trucks: amzn.to/39prLut
I just installed a led switchback into my turn signal and I have hyperflash on my 04 silverado, is there a simple way to fix that instead of buying the $60 part for it?
Spend the money on the LED flasher. You will be much happier. Otherwise it's installing resistors and you don't want to do that.
@@mossman381 oh ok that's what I figured. I read some reviews that said I'd lose cruise control if I dif
@@urmastertech Cruise control should be connected to the brakes not turn/hazard lights. I haven't messed with many 03-up trucks.
urmastertech look up the Lasfit switchbacks. They have load resistors built into the bulb.
Did you need to add a resister or change your flasher relay.
I would get an LED flasher if you plan on running LED lights.
why you have 2 wire on the blue wire i try this set up on my tahoe 2004 am stock on this scene ??
I have a snowplow harness in my truck so I have a few extra wires. Listen to what I say don't just look at the wires.
@@mossman381 so i just need to connect the black and pink wire on the factori wire and the blue on blue right
Did you use resistors for hyper flashing or a relay
Get an electronic flasher made for led lights.
@mossman381 how did you stop them from hyper flashing?
LED flasher
I guess that switch back bulb has a capacitor to charge up or something but that would have been weird the other way
Sorry for asking again but is your side marker light eliminated now??
No
👏👏👏🤩
You know how to work on tahoe to?
Great project.
And i like your front grill how can i but it some where?
The grille is a factory HD grille that I painted black to match the truck.
Dope video Where did u order the headlights and the turn signal from can u send me the link
amzn.to/38cIqjL
How do you get amber run at night,Surely the day times are not running at night.
There is no amber running light with a switchback. It's white when the drl is on then amber when the turn signal is on.
@@mossman381 So at night nothings on is that legal?
It's perfectly legal. I didn't change the parking lights. I only moved them. The switchback is in the DRL socket. Has nothing to do with parking lights.
@@mossman381 OH got ya,I'm going to gut mine and do a switch back LED Light Strip Tube Sequential Turn Signal they work great during the day,But have to figure how to run parking lights at night.
Vlldavid V look up the 4hi mod i did it on my 02 lb7 and looks brighter and cleaner than frick
Aftermarket grille mesh?
Nope, that is the factory HD grille color matched.
Since when is the drl used for the turn signal?? Is it even on the same circuit?
Watch the video.
@@mossman381just watched it again, sorry i missed that part of the video, i just did switchbacks in my truck and the 4 high mod becuase with led headlights it has a very fast flicker when turning on the brights and it hurts the eyes
Had any issues with the switchback bulbs ?
The JDM Astar stuff has been good for me.
No hyper flash, did you install a Resistor
LED electronic flasher will solve your hyperflash problems on this generation Silverado.
nice truck! what brand front bumper is that?
Custom made by me. Here is the playlist: czcams.com/play/PLZwy_pK9cqiOYm7jkDusSl4atWcq9bns1.html
@@mossman381
Great looking truck! Can you make me a bumper and if you do after market how much would it cost?
you don't need to cut the wires just pull the center assembly out, of the socket then pull the wires out of the old one and stick the wires in the new socket and add the extra wire
Are you saying to take the socket apart ? Not following your thought. Plus the drl has to be cut and joined to the other wiring to stay on properly doesn't it.? You can't use the wiring on the white plug and just add the turning wire and make it work properly can you< esp if you want the drl to stay on at night. Thanks
were is that bottom bumper sold at

So you didn’t need resistors at all. Just straight up wired them in
No, but I already had LED taillights. They might have resistors. You can also change the flasher to one that works with LED lights.
What brand of bumper is that?
Custom made by me.
Are you interested in selling it or making another one for a cost
@@jerrydmitchell5081 To build something like that is very time consuming. I have a build series on that bumper if you want to see the process. I really had no plan just an idea of what I wanted. I had to change a few things along the way to work in reality not just my mind. I don't have time to build another and depending on how far away you are from Wisconsin shipping would be expensive. I have thought about going with off road bumpers on this truck.
@@mossman381 I'm in Houston, Texas... If you ever decide to sell it I would love to work something out for it
mossman381 Looks good Randy! I like how it gives it a traffic advisor type of blinking!
Did you need a resistor ?
I showed everything in the video.
ANYBODY IN 2023 STILL CONSDERING THE BEST PLUG AND PLAY LED BULBS,
JDMASTAR IS THE ABSOLUTE KING. PRICED WELL, EXTREMELY BRIGHT WITH THE PROJECTOR UP FRONT. WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SWTICHBACKS OR SOLID REPLACEMENTS.
!!!!!!!!!!!
What bumper is that
Custom made by me: czcams.com/video/Oro6xDMqS9E/video.html
Wish you had tested the hazards. I assume they'd fish 3 outwards.
did it hold in there
Worked fine while I owned the truck.
Do you need a resister
I told everything I did. These trucks need an LED compatible flasher and you are good to go with LED lights.
@@mossman381 okay bc I have a 2001 dodge Dakota and I’m planning on getting switchbacks for my truck
Plow connectors??
I have a wiring harness for a snowplow installed.
@@mossman381 what's different about it couldn't see how it was wired up
Those lights are blinding on some vehicles
Where in Wisconsin are you from
I've had shit luck with those switchback lights, they don't last
Damn that’s badass
I installed in my truck and the led star burning by itself
I would say you have electrical problems. Most likely ground problems if you have an older truck.
@@mossman381 is chevy silverado 04 the problem is if i switch the led is not burned but don't turn on so i don't know why
Lmao renamed the video to→ how to do a sequential switch back by accident... 🤣😂😅😆💩
Why does only one light turn white
Because only one is a switchback.
mossman381 oh ok wish you could have showed us how you wired the lights
I did show you. The ground and drl wires are already there. You just need to find the turn signal and I showed you where they are on both sides.
mossman381 oh ok
Did u use resistors
Them bulbs are garbage.spend the extra do it right a name brand like lasfit or auxito or better brands out there
I have been using the JDM astar bulbs for a long time and they have never let me down.
