I'll try another way to load a photo.
How about now, can you see the photo?
I can see it now. Must be nice to keep it outta the salt, run mine through the car wash once a week unless its below freezing.

It might get out Tuesday, "MIGHT". I guess I've got better than 11" to 15" of snow coming, and I've got an appointment in Alpena Tuesday morning. Just might cancel it, not that I couldn't do it even on BFE roads, just the other drivers.
I tried finding those ZEVO LEDs, the website only came up with 7444A filament bulbs, where did you find yours?

If you want a good switchback for the 7443 front turns, I have LASFIT from Amazon. Lenn did a review on them and so far, so good for me. ZEVO does not make switchback. I just couldnt spend $60 for Diode Dynamics. They are out of stock on Amazon, but ebay has them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-7443...00c:rk:24:pf:0

Thanks Jon, I really don't want switchbacks though, sorta prefer the amber all the time. That is unless I could get amber on all the time, and switch to white when signalling. All the ones I've seen are the opposite, amber when flashing, and white when not, unless I'm mistaken.

I understand. I did the Forscan mod to make my turns my DRL, to extend the life of my low beams, therefore I wanted switchbacks for the turns. Much easier to change and cheaper too!!!

I've had zero issues with my DD switchback. Love the white lights when you unlock the truck and walk up to it.

That makes good sense then. That's something for me to think about, who knows, now that I'm almost ready to go with Forscan, it wouldn't hurt to fool around like that with DRL's.

Just back it up all your modules first. If you have WiFi in your barn I have remote software I use all the time. I could probably walk you through the basics.

Easy as pie and you get a library of backups if you follow instructions. I just didn't read the tutorial all the way to the end where it said TPMS would take a bit of driving to reset.
