  1. Well, I got the third set of turn signals, not too bright, parking lights white, turn signals amber. I wired in the resistors, everything looked good. Until I made a turn this morning and noticed the turn signals flickered very erratically. So now I have the problem, when the parking or headlights are on, the turn signals work fine, lights are white until I hit a turn signal. But when the headlights or parking lights are off, they flash really strangely. Would this be due to the PWM you mentioned and the lights aren't getting a steady 12v on the turn signal side? Is there a way to bring that to a standard 12v with the headlights off like when they are on? I've never had this problem in any other vehicles that had switchback LEDs. And all of my cars have had LEDs all around. @candurin The switchback LEDs from diodedynamics.com, are they amber,off or amber, white for the turn signals?
  2. Thanks for the replies all! DRL is turned off, it's just weird that the white (parking) flash for a quick split second then go out when I turn on the parking/headlights. I ordered another pair of LEDs on amazon, I saw a couple other people had the same problem with the LEDs I bought, hoping it was just crappy bulbs. If the 3rd pair doesn't work, I'm going to dig a bit more into the wiring and see what voltage is going to each wire when switch is in parking and headlights on. Shame the first pair were so bright. I was actually trying to come up with something like a fogged plastic ring to go around the bulb to cut down on the side glare a bit. Hmm, I'll post an update when I get the newest bulbs on Friday just incase others ever have this issue and need to know which bulbs work.
  3. Hello all, Jordan here, new to this forum. Just picked up a 13 Edge SEL and loving it so far! The first thing i wanted to do was make it look better with some nice lighting. Already installed HIDs and Interior LED bulbs, all looks good there. I tried looking around the forum a bit and couldn't find anyone with an issue relating to mine. I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SFSQ1ZMand i'd hate to say it, but i believe they are TOO bright for the front Parking/Turn Signals, the amber lights aren't too bad, but the white light just glares everywhere behind the "edge" plastic in the housing. I figured i'd probably get pulled over quick for blinding people with those. (I live in Jersey, we get pulled over for breathing too loud.) So i ordered a second pair, in hopes to find something a little bit dimmer, really i just want the turn signal to be noticeable and the parking lights to match the headlights. The second pair was: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KLSZ632. I plugged them in, turned on the lights, and the white lights turn on for about 1/8 a second and turn off, checked polarity and i'm good there. The turn signal/hazards work with no problem (white-off), but the parking lights will not stay lit. I'm just wondering if they are trash bulbs, or if there is something i should know about the Edge before ordering ANOTHER replacement. Thankfully i have Amazon Prime so it only takes 2 days to get bulbs, and they don't give me trouble returning them, but i don't want to go through like 4 more pairs before finding something that works. Honestly i wish i could find something to perhaps slide over the super bright ones to kind of dim them down a bit because other than how bright they are, they work great. Any ideas or suggestions? I have resistors for the turn signals, so i'm covered there. Oh and i don't have DRL (not sure if that matters at all.)
