Default load resistor install for LED DRL/signals *lots of pics*

Hey guys i installed my led switchbacks on the weekend, finally have a bit of time to post some pics. Most of the time spent was taking the actual headlights out, and figuring which wires to splice between. All is well now

I dont see an orange switch back in any pic.

The last picture looks like it may have a hint of orange, but its pretty much white to me.

Those are pretty cool! Do they help the headlights at all during night driving? My wife's Grand Prix needs help in the light department...

ya for some reason the white stays on while you signal, and the orange leds flash
