Anyone have problems with these LED Taillights?

[jo3ramz]

can seem to find a way to get the hyper flashing to stop. bought 6 Ohm 50W resistors and they didn't work. i dont know why they didn't build the resistors right in but o well. anyone that has these and can help a brother out with this issue will be greatly appreciated.

You need a "hd flasher" relay. Commonly used in trailer applications. Your local auto parts store should stock them. Just look for something that says heavy duty.

nice thats the first time ive heard of hd flasher relay. where would you connect this?

It replaces your stock flasher,it's just heavy duty.

well if you could get me a link to where to get em and what they look like because it it to my understanding that they are like different on these cars than others.

would this work?

Yes, if you have a parts store look up your vehicle, they can provide you with the correct one, just let them know which one your after.

Have these. Tried putting in a load equalizer. No dice. So if you do come up with the solution, post it up.

The solution is the HD FLASHER RELAY!!!!! Say it with me...Mmkay Etay?

yeah i bought an hd flasher yesterday and it didnt work. by any chence etay, do u happen to know which resistor you used? becuase i have been told ti try the 3 ohm 50w. i have yet to do this but its in my to do list.
as of right now i have the led tailights connected direct to with the bulb in the socket and with bulb covers over the bulbs. it works but id rather not have the bulbs. it kinda defeats the purpose of low powered led's. WTF
but it works and no hyperflashing for now. if those other load resistors work ill let you know

All I did wa take it out the box, took that little wire from the stock tail lights. Simple plug and play stuff.

I kinda almost don't care anymore. I blacked out the tail lights and i figure the faster flashing makes it easier to see.
