Lightbulb Suggestions with installing xB2 led switchbacks in front and rear turns/w rev lights

Ok so I know it sounds crazy. But from what I have gathered from the DIY how to stop hyperflashing sticky, stock relay causes flashers to hyperblink, which I think kinda looks cool. Replace stock relay with "FOR LED" one. I envision having switchbacks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sugpD...r_embedded#t=0 Heres the linkhttp://store.ledmod.com/index.php?ma...products_id=72 in both the front and back. Im not sure if anyone has done this yet, or if anyone has thought of doing the same for the rear, but having the white leds come on when the car is put into reverse. That way all four bulbs will come on in the clear section of the housing making it super effing bright. I ordered some budget leds off of amazon and their ****. I want something like 4 times the brightness. Anyone else interested in helping me with this? I have a 2011 and it didn't have the second rev. light so I did the mod. Now that I have found these bulbs im hella interested in getting them and doing these mods.

What makes the switchback change from one color to the next. How should I go about testing wiring and possible problems I should expect.

Please chime in guys, thanks in advance.

Not a crazy idea at all, I've been thinking about this for some time now, you would need to replace the blinker flasher for the LED model to make it work. Best switchback on the market right now is from V-Leds http://www.vleds.com/bulb/7443-7440-.../v3-wa-5k.html

Think of it as 2 independent LED bulbs in one, and wire just the same independently. Amber for the blinker and white for reverse. This will also remove the amber color for the tail lights which is a plus in my opinion.

This can also be applied to the front turn signals and have a DLR, but additional wiring would be necessary to have them come on with the ignition.
