Old video, but... if you have never tried this, install the fogs with the yellow on top, then drive in bad weather to notice if you see better. The beams are not the same height. (Of course, whichever is on top, make sure they are aligned properly. That's the only way you will know for sure.) The fog yellow/amber is the most important. -EDIT That will be more important on vehicles lower to the ground.- Depends on the height and adjustment.
Installed these on my 2018 Tundra. Had to order replacement light housings, as my SR5 had upgraded LED fog lights that didn't have replaceable bulbs. Wanted the amber.
Was looking for a video showing these on an F-150 (I have a '17). Thanks so much, think the switchbacks will be a good upgrade from the regular white LED driving lights I have now.
Great video. The LASFIT switchback bulbs I bought through Amazon for my 2020 F150 STX do not fit. The wiring did finally seat but it required excessive force. The bulbs don't fit the stick sockets. Returning my order to Amazon and I have contacted LASFIT to find the correct bulb.
Never force any connector. If you find bulbs you are really happy with, I.E., beam pattern, and the connectors do not seat properly but work, use electrical tape, silicone, or dielectric grease. ... "beam pattern" ... That is the most important aspect, not brightness. Color is next, and IMHO 6000K and under is the best. Lumens/lux, etc. are not worth having over a bad pattern and glare over the hot spot. (Don't be one of those people!) EDIT - Sorry, not saying you are or will be. :-p General point. - One thing good about the Lasfits', and you can see it in this video, is they have more of an amber color, about 2700K versus 3000K.
Only thing I noticed with my 2012 pathfinder is when I turn on the white driving light and go to my high beams when they switch back to low beam they switch to the fog light setting, must turn off switch and back on to get the white light back. Other then that no complaints, love them.
Well technically you shouldn't run fog lights unless there is fog or precipitation where the yellow fog is needed to cut through that. So you wouldn't be running high beams anyway. You need to rewire your figs to fix this issue
That’s because your car won’t allow you to have the fog lights and brights on at the same time like most manufacturers. Try using UPREV to program the car to keep dog lights on with brights and that won’t happen anymore
If you have Auto headlights where it will witch from high to low when the truck see a car will it change from white to yellow every time your high beams turn off or on
Great question! It depends. If there is a very quick switch time (high beams off and then immediately on) then yes, it will; but as long as there is. 3 second delay between the “high to low” switch, the fog lights will stay the same color. Does that answer your question hopefully?
Is this only for a base F-150 that comes with oem bulbs. My brother got a 18 platinum. He saids the whole lights is intergrated with leds. Can’t change them
No, still going strong. They have a built in fan and the location gets a lot of air flow. One of my favorite upgrades. Check out my long term review if you want. czcams.com/video/CtylHqa3hBw/video.html
So I bought these switchbacks 6months ago and rarely use them and last night they switched colors on their own and then one bulb stayed on white while the other stayed on yellow. So I turned off headlights and back on and they both synced up to yellow then few seconds later it keeps happening so I checked bulbs and the fans are not spinning so maybe thats the reason this is happening. Does anyone know if the water from rain , car wash can cause fans to burn up? Cause the light housing isn't covered on 2020 f150. Lasfit was awesome and are sending me replacements.
Mine are doing the same thing plus one side flickers its butt off acts like it can't decide from white or yellow sucks cuz I think I paid like 100 or so only made it one month before issue starting happening
That sucks man did you hang the canbus with a zip tie? Reach out to LASFIT they are good. Iv had mine for over a year with zero issues. Maybe you got a bad set

I got them for my 10th gen civic and they are amazing. Worth it
Glad you got those because I wanted to see what they looked like! Nice installation guide too!!
They are so cool, I’m loving them. Looking forward to some bad weather to see how the yellows work.. haha.
Thanks for the video. I purchased these because of your review.

Ohh yeah man. These are excellent.
I didn’t know these existed. Thanks for the video I’ll be ordering them
Thanks! Did you end up getting these? How do they look?
@@AutoHeadz yes I did! They looks great and work fantastically
Those are cool, nice vid!

Thanks for the info!
If you go through LASFIT use code “AUTOHEADZ” for that discount

What are the name of the ones you pulled out? Great work as always..Thanks man! Peace
did yours also not lock in? Mine didnt and i was told its so you can always spin them for proper beam projection.

Ahhh that’s weird huh? Yeah man, I’m loving them. Had some snow the other day and the yellow really makes a difference.
Well technically you shouldn't run fog lights unless there is fog or precipitation where the yellow fog is needed to cut through that. So you wouldn't be running high beams anyway. You need to rewire your figs to fix this issue
I think you can disable the fog light shutoff when highs are on with a forscan.
That’s because your car won’t allow you to have the fog lights and brights on at the same time like most manufacturers. Try using UPREV to program the car to keep dog lights on with brights and that won’t happen anymore
how did you find the old led fog lights you had in? just bought some but then saw your video on the switchbacks and now I really want them.
The link is in the description of the video man. If you can’t find it let me know.
If you have Auto headlights where it will witch from high to low when the truck see a car will it change from white to yellow every time your high beams turn off or on

You are saying that the 2018 platinum comes from the factory with LED fog lights?
@@AutoHeadz yes factory intergrated. So when the fog lights goes bad.. you have to replace the whole assembly
Oh wow. That’s pretty sweet but also could see how it would be expensive to replace.
Do you have a direct link to the lights? I went on their website and can't find just the for lights they sell the whole kit
My apologies. Here it is.
lddy.no/vtq7
Let me know if that link works for you. Thanks for watching.
Are your low beams orange?
Yes. Stock low beams, so that amber color.
AutoHeadz oh ok just wondering
The switchbacks are bright yellow.
imagine if you had led headlights also lol
You mean like these? czcams.com/video/vZkI7AlmZzk/video.html or these? czcams.com/video/4ij56J_zCyc/video.html
Are these h11/h9/h8
I think I put a link to the exact ones in the video description.
How hot do the canbus get?
Not too bad. The fan keeps its fairly cool. I’m not sure on exact numbers of degrees.
Any issues with these getting hot?
No, still going strong. They have a built in fan and the location gets a lot of air flow. One of my favorite upgrades. Check out my long term review if you want.

I can only speak for the 2015-2017 models but those fans are definitely not supposed to get wet.
@@AutoHeadz thanx for reply. Does your fog lights have boots on the back to cover the lights? You know the back part of light
Mine are doing the same thing plus one side flickers its butt off acts like it can't decide from white or yellow sucks cuz I think I paid like 100 or so only made it one month before issue starting happening

Yes I also electric greaseed all the fittings guess I'll have to try an get with lasfit ordered them threw Ebay for a Silverado 1500
How can I contact you if need cooperate?
