If you think that a 2003 Volvo S40 can’t come up with something cool, then think again – this ride has a brand new 1157 Switchback LED package installed and definitely stands out. The owner replaced his front turn signal stock bulbs with these "switchback" LED bulbs and the difference is obvious.

The featured 1157 Dual Color LED bulbs light up the parking lights in very nice Xenon White color, that perfectly matches HID headlights and when you use the turn signals, they will alternate from white to flashing amber. This allows you to gain a uniform white appearance in the front of the vehicle at night, while still having amber turn signals. And if you own a Volvo like this one here, replacing the bulbs will take you just a few minutes.

First you have to open the hood, then look at the signal assembly from above and you’ll notice a screw that holds it. Loosen it and the signal assembly should slide out, allowing for access to the harness and socket. Then unplug the adapter and replace the old bulb with the new 1157 Switchback LED bulb. Before you put things back together, test if everything is working fine, then proceed with the other front turn signal. Please note you might need to add a pair of load resistors to prevent hyper flashing or malfunction problem. By adding a resistor to the bulb’s circuit, you can mimic the power consumption of the original bulb, and return the vehicle to normal turn signal speed.

I hope you like this upgraded 2003 Volvo S40 with 1157 Dual Color LED lights, and if you haven’t noticed, these bulbs are with magnified projectors in front, which means they are 2-3 times brighter than conventional LED bulbs even in the daytime. This bulb is only suitable for front turn signals with a dual filament bulb (1157, 2057, 2357, 7528 etc), when there is a clear reflector. So, if the featured bulb is suitable for your car, then definitely should think about getting a pair!

The owner of this gorgeous yellow 2011 Chevy Camaro is obviously fond of LED upgrades and replaced the stock halogen bulbs for turn signal lights with 3157 Switchback LED bulbs. The moment I saw these lights in action, I knew this mod is going to be the new trend in the automotive world.

These 3157 LED bulbs can emit two different colors: Xenon White for parking lights and driving lights and Amber yellow for turn signal lights. Every time I see this 2011 Chevy Camaro, only one word comes up: "Stunning!". The High Quality iJDMTOY 3157 Switchback Bulb has 30 pieces white SMD LED lights and 30 pieces amber SMD LED lights. The bulb is designed to light bright white when the running lights are on. When the turn signal is activated, the light will instantly switch from white to amber and start flashing.

Installing the 3157 Switchback LED bulbs in most cases is as easy as duck soup – plug and play. Please note that if you are using these LED bulbs for turn signal lights and they flash really quick, you need to add a pair of load resistors to prevent hyper flashing or malfunction problem. LEDs use less power so if you run without the resistors the car thinks a bulb is out (you will get a error and the lights blink fast). The resistors simulate the load of a regular filament bulb.

Anyway, feel free to ask us any questions regarding this product and its installation, because if your car has single filament bulb housings, these switchback LED bulbs won’t work – they require dual filament housings. However, we offer single filament switchback LED, but it’s better to contact us first for more details.

This 2011 Chevy Camaro with 3157 Switchback LED bulbs is a dream to drive, looks really fancy and if you don’t want to miss the chance to improve the look of your car, you should definitely try with Switchback LED. I just can’t think of a better way to make impression to everyone on the road just like this Chevy guy.
