I order these led .the blinkers work like they should until the headlight comes on then they go constant amber and it doesn't have white which got me thinking they sent me the wrong led . Also my dash blinkers lights are always on when the headlights are on is this normal?
 
What is that ?
What he means is to remove the bulb, spin it 180° and reinstall it into the socket. Sometimes with bulbs, especially LED's it will change the way current moves through the circuit. I have led bulbs in my autometer gauges, and had to spin them around to light up.

Okay I will try it . I contacting superbright and they said
 
I FIgure it out
The bulb don't fit into the socket all the way
Which causing it not to ground correct
And Still couldn't get it to work

I can get any LED from my friend who owns a shop which sells the LED lights for next to nothing but he will not stock duel LED lights and I won't wast my time trying them cause they never work. I have LED in the interior so if the lights are on they don't drain the battery but for the exterior lights my alternator keeps them lit so there is no use for me to have LED lights.

Switchbacks work properly on a very narrow range of cars.

I have them on my '91 Miata and they work perfect - White DRL's and Amber turn signals.

On my '90 Miata with a '94 wiring harness, they don't work because Mazda switched the Amber/white circuits, so they are amber DRL's and White turn signals. Cutting, switching the wire leads at the plug should fix this, in theory.
 
I have switchbacks on my Monte.

Before I installed them, the turn signals worked fine.

After installation, the lights came on in the white-ish hue as they should, when you pull the light knob out one click. However, the turn signals stopped working. I can manually make them come on, but just pushing the lever down results in a solid state. I think it has something to do with my electrical more so than the lights.
