So question do U have the XL or Xlt that you put these Alla switch back bulbs in?
Mine is an XLT, lights work great and look good.

I got tired of the hyper-flash and wired in the resistors this evening. Used posi-taps, stuffed with dielectric grease and knocked up some simple aluminum tabs for mounting and to help dissipate the resistor heat. These are 50 Watt / 8 ohm, got a 4 pack from bezos. I also used weather pack connectors to allow me to pull and replace the resistor easily in the future if needed, probably overkill, but I had 'em.

All can be returned to stock in under 10 minutes, the posi-taps will only leave a small puncture in the factory wiring.

Forgot to add, there are bushed / untapped holes on the frame rails there, so I completed them with a 1/4-20 tap to mount those AL tabs

Way better than cut and splice🤙

I agree. I would strip some factory insulation and do a soldered tap if I were concerned at all about these posi-taps. There is absolutely no need for anyone to cut their factory wiring, auto strip pliers will cut and pull / push insulation back mid-wire and then you can wrap and solder, much more solid joint but not reversible very easily.

Wow, those are much more responsive than the halogen bulbs.

Sucks about the hyperflash, I know that's an easy fix once you guys get into Forscan though.

I wish they made a set of bulbs like these in our 4257na size.

Also, I see you've got the holes cut for fog lights, come on, get a thread going, give us something :oops::D
These bulbs fit my 1963 Nova convertible! 💕

JUST ADD RESISTORS!! Leds will never fully function properly without them. This isn’t hard
Don’t even need to deal with splicing…get resistors like these pictured(just reference pic) and they’ll be plug n play literally

Better yet someone mentioned Lasfit canbus LED'S, Just spend another 20 bucks and get all in one🍻🤙

A couple questions after reading through the comments:
1. Did the resistors work? Or, better yet, has anyone tried the Lasfit ones, yet?
2. Anyone with a Lariat that's gotten them, have you managed to get the switchback functionality to work? No sense in getting switchback bulbs if they won't work.
