I installed some Morimoto switchbacks recently and only get hyperflashing on one side. Anyone know why that would happen?

We are in the process of making significant updates to the F-150 listings. My apologies for any confusion

Sort of, the bulbs plug right in but to get the resistor in place requires they be spliced into 2 of the wires with those scotch lock connectors (included with resistors) so your not actually cutting the factory harness, just pinching thru the insulation to make contact with the wire core.

Last pic I was able to catch the left turn while it was blinking. Where I got them. Amazon.com: JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright PX Chipsets White/Yellow 3157 3155 3457 4157 Switchback LED Bulbs For Turn Signal Lights(Brightest Switchback bulb in the market): Automotive

Ok, those are sweet. As I'm in the process of switching to LEDs, how did you get the whites to stay lit (DRL?) while the vehicle is on? Are the bulbs just plug-n-play, or do you need additional wiring to have the whites too?

They plug in just like a factory bulb, as for the DTRL, that is controlled on the turn light circuit, not the running light circuit so they are white running lights and amber DTRL.

I didn't like the amber turn lights for DTRL so I reprogrammed the BCM to make my fog lights DTRL.
