Hi there, first I wanted to say thanks. Even though this is my first post here I have received a ton of help from here so thank you.


I am restoring a 66 mustang fastback. And I have everything from the remote entry to the fuel injection wired and running great. But for the life of me I can't figure the driving lights/turn signals out.

Here is my situation. I am using "switchback" LEDs in the same housing. Because I want to keep the front of the car as clean as possible.

They are three lead LEDS. There is a common ground on each housing and then one lead makes the LED light up bright white (driving lights) and the other lead makes it light up amber (turn signals)

The issue currently is that with the driving lights on the LED's do not cycle between the colors. In other words the white stays light when I hit my turns so you really cant even tell I am signaling.

Ideally I would like the driving lights to cut out completely until the signal is cancelled.

I have it wired so that the driving lights share a positive on. as well as the common housing ground. I am sure this could be done with relays, I am just not sure how to keep the lights from wig wagging back and forth from white to amber.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks, Ryan
