Rob, you do the install yourself or did you have them installed? I want to eliminate the turn signal bulb and strictly use the DRL Switchback as the turn signal. I'm getting installed in the spring by a local installer who is recommended by Diode (Circuit Demon is the company).

I had them installed by a diode dynamics installer they had a 5/5 star rating on facebook. You can eliminate the stock turn signal bulb by just taking it out. Also its a very difficult install, mine and a couple of others(oracle color changing led boards) had to have the installer cut the headlight cause baking the headlight did not work well.

The installer I am using has great reviews as well--they actually just did a full LED conversion on my Durango R/T interior (have to solder the LED's to certain circuit boards for some lights), turn signals and reverse lights. They said that they would have to cut the lights open due to the material that GM uses to seal their headlights. I can't wait for spring to get here!!!

Very nice. The full blinker is one feature I would have liked from my ORACLE lights.

There was a preview video that showed the Diode Dynamic LED strip having the same colors and functions as the Oracle one.... too bad since it would be great to have the best of both worlds...

I think they are still working on that, I'm good with just the switchbacks

These look great! What's the ETA on the side markers! I would be ready to preorder a set of smoked ones right now!

I don't have an ETA available yet, but they've already been designed and are currently in production.

We will keep everyone updated on their progress and post more information as it becomes available from our engineering team.

Thank you!

The 5th Gen RGBW boards are indeed available here on our site: Diode Dynamics: LED Board Listings

We will be releasing our 6th Gen options shortly as well!

Thank you,
