Switchback lights

Does anyone have any suggestions for doing the led switchback lights. Internet isn't very friendly in my searches. Thank you

Are you just looking to swap the amber turn signals in the factory OEM halogen housing?

I went with another brand they worked fine for me but i wouldn't hesitate to order the Morimotos. If you have access to Forscan you won't need to add resistors. Long story short you just need a 7443 switch back for what you're wanting.

Have worked & looked good for several months. For $30, I'm happy with them. But like the link for Morimoto in the previous post they seem to be unavailable as of this posting.

how do you stop the quick turn signal lamp in the display from happening?
Hyper flash?

There's an option in forscan to disable flasher out warning, aka hyper flash.

I went with the GTR bulbs available through gtr lighting, also known as headlight revolution. HR sends then with resistors though.

I answered this at your other post. But again, you have to get into the truck computer with FORScan or wire in resistors. The hyper flash is only on your cluster indicator. The light itself actually flashes at normal speed.
Edit: Found a link that describes the FORScan process to get rid of hyperflash. Starts at about the 31 minute mark of this 44 minute video.

I'm having a heck of a time getting any to fit into the plug on my 2018 F350. I have tried 7443 and a couple others but they don't stay in. The clip doesn't hold onto the darn bulb. And these are from Superbrightled

In one of the other older thread on this subject, myself and another poster mention that we had to grind away a bit of material with a Dremel for a better fit. If I remember correctly, this seems to be an issue with several different brands of bulb.
Perhaps someone who has gotten a good fit right out of the box could post the brand they used.
