switch back bulbs

JMart · May 8, 2014

Who has them and where are you getting them from. I have struck out twice with two companies. The first one couldn't complete an order after 5 weeks of trying I kept getting broken lights or the wrong ones. The second company is having an issue getting my lights out of China. They have been stuck there for two weeks.

Any recommendations?

Cool. I will probably be going with him then if I still need them, or at least next time I need them.

I am still waiting for DDM to come through. They say they shipped so they won't refund me. I have to wait another week to see if they turn up.

I ordered mine from DDM. They shipped on 4/25 but I haven't got them yet. They keep telling me I should get them this week though. They did finally make it to San Francisco a few days ago. Apparently they were shipped by sailboat from China. I wouldn't order from them again if they were free.

Do you have the white/blue to yellow changing bulbs for the 11-14's? Do you have bulbs that you don't have to wire in resistors? I'd be interested inf that'
s not required.

Recon makes a set that says they are 11-15 specific. I have not tried them but they say no resistors needed.

By any chance have a link? I was only able to find a set that you have to splice with a resistor. Just not a big fan of that idea if I can avoid it.

Looks like it does need a resistor

Steer clear of retro solutions, thats all I can add. My buddy has some ddm's and a couple led's have burned out here and there, but thats after 3 years or so of use.

I've already been burned by retro, and DDM took 6 weeks to ship. I would stear clear of them too.

I bought these a few months ago and they are great

I also had the displeasure of dealing with retro solutions and their so called lifetime warranty of disapointment and excuses.

Anyways I had switchbacks but they never really matched my 6k HID's they were too blue, for $22 I tried these, they are perfect! Next in the lighting program was replacing the garbage retro solutions fog HID's which failed long ago. So I got these crazy LED fog bulbs from here:

Next up will be to replace the headlight HID's...

I think I need some of these...

So is it really the consensus that retro is a bad choice.
They seem quick and friendly.
Got a quote for all all lights on the truck except head and fog.
Really wanna get them from one spot but the warranty issues I read bother me.

BK39 · Nov 12, 2014

I'm done with Retro too. I went the ebay route, and my ebay leds are still working.

The biggest thing imo is how overpriced they are, they sell the same crap as everyone else for 3x the money!
