Looking to wire them on the front turn signal. Don't think it matters but 2012 liberty.

Good luck, tried everything under the sun to try to get them to work on my 03, every possible configuration. Just wouldn't work. This was ones with white running lights and Amber turns. The running lights would dim when you applied the brakes. I have Amber park and turns installed now with no issues.

Well now I'm just confused and that doesn't take much at the moment. I guess back go Google and I thought I Google everything. Well I guess not. If I find anything I'll post it.

They looked good till I used the brakes then they would flicker and dim. I ran them for awhile because I liked the white daytime running light look. I still have the bulbs. The only thing I can guess at as to why they didn't work for me is that the voltage is monitored by the computer and something in the switchbacks was throwing it off . Maybe another brand might work better.

Well I should be getting the switchback led today with the resistor today. Does it matter how close the resistor is to the led ?
