i recently did changed my signal bulbs to switchback led bulb (stays on white, then switches to amber when turn signal is on) it requires a double filament socket which our fits do not have so i did some custom modding...i used a universal double filament socket and tapped it to the existing socket & parking wire. i am positive that i am the 1st fit to do this mod. here are some pics i took earlier before it started to rain.

here is just driving light switched on (parking + ccfl angeleyes + led strip + signal)


the new signal (switch back led bulb...requires custom socket modding)

That is soooo sweet.... Were did you find the bulbs? that would be cool as hell on the rear hooked up to the turn signals and backup lights.

 

thanks! i got the bulbs from my buddy's shop jlclightings.com. check out their site...email them and tell them henry (honda fit) sent you and theyll hook you up.

 

Thank You..... I bookmarked the link... That is a mod worth doing. All of the other I have done have been mostly under the hood or under the car under the dash, and a few small thing to the interior. I can't believe you didn't receive more response about something that cool and functional.

 

lol thanks! they are very functional imho. it is a mod well worth doing. let me know if you have any questions.

 

This is pretty damn sweet but looking at your car in the vid i was really wanting to see the fog light blink too. I don't know why but my brain was expecting it and I got excited and then it didn't and i thought that may be a cool idea.....

hmmmmm..... lol

Good work tho looks great! VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS everywhere now haha

 

Dude that turning signal idea is great!!! I want to do it now !!!!!! And did u get ur headlights done ? Or u did it urself ? Mad props bro

 

thats looks great, thank you for sharing your idea

 

more info? what wire did you tap color location. also did you use a resistor? if so 50w 3 ohm or 50w 6 ohm?
thanks

 

My buddy and I are going to attempt this mod, will share and post some pics when the time comes....

 

can you guys make the light on top of the housing switchback too? the dim lights, wedgebulb on top of the housing?

 

Sweet mod, ohanahuichubbz! BlueRaspberryFit, looking forward to seeing your results.

 

Not sure exactly how ohanahuichubbz did his, but the mod has been done, required some serious modding from my buddy (he's an electrical genius) But I will say the parts needed were two 1157 switchback bulbs, in which I got from JLC lighting, 06-11 Civic turn signal connectors and sockets, electrical prongs to go inside of the connectors, new wiring helps (since the Honda wires are somewhat flimsy) and resistors, which I still haven't got yet. It's better to clamp the wiring into the connectors rather than solder, and I suppose that's all I can say for now. The turn signals are hyperflashing since the resistors aren't in. The one's JLC sent me weren't the right "om" However, they did insist that by hooking up the resistors to the rear turn signals would solve the issue, with in which I'm guessing LED bulbs, which are relatively cheap anyways. But I must say, I am happy with my lights now! Looks like a Lexus! Getting a lot of stares now....

 

I want to do this as well.

Can you give a list of parts you used and the process of this mod.

 

Hi old post, Trying to figure out how to wire this. I’m trying to get more light for the GD3. I’m guessing you pull the positive wire spliced from the parking lights to the new double filament socket? Hence the parking light will always stay on but when the turn signal switch turns on it negates the parking light and turns on the brighter turn lights?

 

There's full adapter harnesses here now that are completely plug and play. No splicing needed, it just connects into the factory plugs. Includes the sockets and everything and you can even add resistors if you want to use LED bulbs on the front for white parking lights and brighter yellow turn signal lights.

Whoa cool site!
