Fredgway15 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hello all, I posted a picture of my 2014 DJ Crossroad with the upgraded headlights and asked the question if anyone has tried to upgrade their turn signals to the switchback bulbs. Since no one responded I'm going to assume no one has...... But I have figured it out. Let me kno what y'all think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 What are switch back turn signals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antdog24 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 looks like they are turn signals that stay white until you activate the signal then they turn amber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onecrazyfoo4u Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm wondering since you can't find a 3757AK bulb. All I see is 3157...and it sounds like they'll fit with a little modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ZINGA Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 They're common on eBay. Search "3157 switchback" and you'll get many many hits. I have a set in my 300M Special that I had to put in after I upgraded to clear lenses. Note: They are LED. I don't know if the JS/JC platform was fitted with electronic flashers. If not, the system will think the bulb is out and switch to hyper-flash. I had to upgrade the flasher on my M concurrently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Do you have to modify the 3157 to fit in the 3757 bulb socket? I think I heard on here you have to wire in the resister to stop them from hyper flashing...which sucks. Fredgway15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm happy just to have DRLs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ZINGA Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 You can search for 3757 as well. I wasn't aware JC platform uses 3757. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Personally the only lighting changes I'd make are to install HIRs up front and I'm leaving everything else stock no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredgway15 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I got them from JDMTOY.com the bulb is a 3157 which does not fit our sockets. The trick is to cut the tabs off the sides of the bulb housing and that allows it to fit perfectly. Make sure to add a load resistor to stop hyper flashing. Cost was 35 bucks. Edited February 18, 2015 by Fredgway15 onecrazyfoo4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredgway15 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Also if you are looking at the turn signal connector, there are three wires that come out. On the 2014s the two outside wires are what you wire the resistor to. onecrazyfoo4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerz69 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Do you have any pictures on how you did the resistor and what kind you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredgway15 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Do you have any pictures on how you did the resistor and what kind you used? I will take pics for you when it's not so gloomy out Powerz69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Looks good. This is on my list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhdez317 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Original bulb for the DJ is P/N 3757, searched on ebay, only found 3157, would you be so kind as to take pictured of how you installed the resistor and what tabs you cut off please? if no reply in a couple of days ill just go out to my DJ with my meter and turn on the lights and measure voltage to see which one is the N/O and which on is the Intermittent, seems as though people in these forums are not very good at tending to their threads or sharing information, which is a big bummer, for people who dont have lives like me lol...
