I tried search and well i did not completely find anything
is there anyone that changed out their front turn signal bulbs and put in LED bulbs?

I have them on my SW tC but I don't have pictures right now. superbrightleds.com is where I got mine, you will need a resistor so they flash at normal speed, i love mine.

the bulb is 1157 its a dual circuit bulb. you need a load equalizer or a new flasher to make it flash normal speed

Kind of like these, at least this is what I used since I wasn't sure which flasher I needed. Works fine:

I believe this is what I want;

but not sure between the narrow or wide and should I use the flasher module or the load resistor?

more is always better w/ LED bulbs. Isn't the bulb in the xB2 face straight ahead? If so, i would say the 19, as for the resistors, i have the load resistors and it works great just tap into the wires and you're done. Good luck, i'll try and take pictures of mine so you can see.

I read that LEDs are not safe when they're in the same housing as the headlights because they don't tolerate heat very well. Can somebody confirm this?
I would really like to try these out. They are white until you use the turn signals, then they are amber. Sweet!

Same concept, different company, with more options. Available with several different bases, 20, 30 and 48 LED versions, and two different bulb diameters for the 7443 base. Our stock front turn signal is a 1" diameter 1157 bulb, so these will work fine.

i have the switchback and its pretty cool. and yes heat affects the life.. about 5LEDs have burned out on the switchback..
