Just so you know, the turn signals on stock 4th gens use 1156 not 1157, so these won't work stock. However, a rewire will allow these to work.

You're correct, it was the parking light that is an 1157, which in the end should still give the same effect though

I have a 97. The parking (clearance) light does not blink or get brighter. So how will it give me the same effect? Do you have an 1156. If not do you know where i can get one. I think that looks awesome.

Do you have any pics of these bulbs? Are they SMT LED's? How many bulbs are there? I've had switchbacks in my 6th gen for a few years they are great but I know there are better ones out now and I;'d like to see what you are offering! Thanks.
Oh and here's a vid of mine:

At this time we can only get white and blinking amber. But we'll continue to ask our supplier about other colors we may be able to get.

Pardon my ignorance but for a 4th gen, would these go in the corner lights or the bumper lights?

unfortunately no
Since they are only single filament bulbs it would not work
Switchbacks have to be dual filament bulbs such as 1157, 3157 or 7443's.

No you would need a resistor so it does not blink fast

You, you just splice the wires from the resistors into your parking light wires to make them function properly, not to hard of a process to do.

When they are white the amber part of your lens would look a bit yellow is all.

They would blink fast unless you installed a digital relay or put in load resistors.
