@@liamdonaldson9196 I couldn't find one for my navigator, so I'll just get the bulbs that have the resistor built in for turn signals. Far as the tail lights, might have to throw resistors on them since, they will be on more often and probably cook from the inside out
Programming that sort of thing is impractical and/or nigh impossible (edit: on some/most cars). Take my 2005 Volvo S60R for instance. Brake lights are controlled by the CEM, and doing anything to the CEM on one of those Volvos takes balls
Well opened mine up and of course it looks nothing like the video. Mines much fatter and difficult to get out, if it even comes out. Someone must’ve done something to it at some point.
Glad to know this exists. I bought Lasfit bulbs that have built in load resistors, but the Silverados dim the front turn signals, so it bypasses their load resistors. I always thought the replacement flashers lost the "tick tock" to let you know your turn signals are on, but yours is still there so I'll be looking at getting that :D On that note, if you want your tinted turn signals to be much, much brighter, get the Lasfit 3157 anti-hyper flash. They run about $50 a pair, but they are hella bright. At night with my headlights off I could almost use them as fog lamps because they're so bright.
I know I’m late to this comment. But I have a Silverado too and bought very similar lights. (Just by SyneticUsa opposed to Lasfit, though my head lights and high beams are lasfit) nice and bright as well. Anti-hyper flash. But it still has the hyper flash. Did this get rid of the hyper flash?
@@donovanmccary7430 Yep, I eventually had to buy an LED compatible flasher. Even with all four turn signals using the LASFIT anti-hyperflash, it would still do it. Now I kinda regret spending the extra when I could have bought the $15 LASFIT bulbs instead and just use the new flasher. Oh well, it's how we learn. I have this nice little 2000 Saturn I bought while I could do some work to the truck and I'll probably try it with that and just replace the flasher instead of getting the more expensive bulbs.
Thank you so much for this video i have just replaced my turn signal bulbs in my 2002 Silverado and was trying to find a way around installing the load resistors and all that wiring Thank you so much.
It means that the signals are all controlled by the BCM, electronically. The only way to stop the hyper flashing is adding/tapping in load resistors, yes.
I wonder if that means HP Tuners can change the resistance rating of the blinkers in the software. That would mean even easier than swapping a relay, let alone wire in resistors..
It does that because there isn't enough resistance to keep them at a slower pace, not because it's a safety measure. There's a bonus in that design knowing when you have a signal out, but its simply because it lost resistance.
Hey man, not that it matters a whole lot, but just figured I'd let you know that the hyperflash is actually caused because of the fact that the led provides much MORE resistance than a halogen bulb, allowing much less current to flow through it, which is why they use so much less power. The truck knows how much power a halogen bulb is supposed to draw, and when it fails to draw that much power then it hyperflashes because there's "not enough" current flowing through the circuit (since LEDs are so efficient). Even though it sounds like adding a resistor will provide more resistance, wiring one in parallel actually does the opposite. Adding a resistor in parallel pretty much just creates a controlled short circuit that allows more electricity to flow through, not less. Basically just takes away the efficiency of the LEDs and makes them use as much power as a halogen so the truck doesn't get confused. Again, not that it matters haha but just figured it doesn't hurt to know. Love the truck!
Good info, thank you - I was about to go the much more tasking route of crimping in multiple resistors, but this is much easier, and makes more sense. Plus resistors get hot, so when you tuck all your bulbs and wiring back into the light housing, you need clear placement of those load resistors. Best thing with mine, the relay was behind the glove box, simply released a clip, and it was a 10 second job. Those flashers relays at O'Rileys were $17
Even my 1985 Parisienne had electronic flasher module that detected burn out turn signal bulbs. BTW, most turn signal bulbs are not halogen, it's the headlights, foglights that are halogen to better light the road in front of you.
This was before I've seen this video, I went to Orileys and the dude kept trying to get me to buy resistors and that a flasher wouldnt work, I bought a flasher anyhow, got home, plugged it in and bam, no hyper flash, some people dont deserve thier jobs. That or he was just trying to get me to buy their in house resistors for way more than the relay.
I have an 03 gmc sierra. I put the leds in the turn signals and now the left blinks fast but the right doesn't blink at all. I put the resistors in and it's the same thing
I own a 2000 Chrysler Concorde LXI, and it did it with my car too. I can’t do a relay, all my lights are fused? I bought LED’s with the resistors, built in. Waiting on them? Can’t wait to see if they work?
I know this video is two years old but some chevy trucks (older probably 99-07) need to see the resistance on the brake light circuit in order for cruise control to work. Changing to led brake lights may make your cruise control not work.
That’s wild! Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea why my cruise control just stopped working on my 99! The 05 has all LED and its cruise control works just fine but my 99s does not. What’s weird is I’m pretty sure it did immediately after I put the lights in but now it does not.
Hi! I hope you read me :) Bought LED bulbs H11 for a Ford Ranger 2016 XLT. The bulbs works well with the car not running, just the switch-on. When the engine is running, once I turn-on the lights they turn-off by themselves in a second. A troubleshooting? Will a different relay work in this case? Any leads will be much appreciated. P.S. I visited 2 electricians here and they couldn't help me (not the most proficient people in the country I'm residing tho, with all respect). No errors on dashboard. I've installed the Fog lights, more simple LED bulb, and they're working well. These H11 headlight bulbs are just 40W each, original is 55W. Trying to avoid a Canbus Decoder / resistor. Thank you in advance!
I just swapped this same relay in my 2006 with a new flasher module that was supposed to be led friendly but still have no blinkers at all was thinking resistors are needed to? Any help would be great!
On some cars or Truck the driver is in the (BCM) Body control module for the headlights and the fog lights if you put in led bulbs that has high draw form the bulbs you could burn your bcm i have seen this a lot of dodge products.
I installed a LED compatible flasher on my 06 Silverado and my front turn signals work fine. How ever when I put LED bulbs in the rear I get no flashing at all! I put the halogen bulbs back in the rear turn signals and started working again. Really throwing me for a loop because normally in the past where I have swapped the flasher for an LED compatible flasher relay it worked fine. I think I am going to have to use resisters on my rear turn signals in order to use LED bulbs on the rear.
Nope it doesn’t hurt anything, if you like it by all means leave it! The reason they made it do that is so that when a blinker bulb burns out you have an indicator that it’s out so you can fix it.
Very helpful, thank you. Do you know if the headlights/rear lights also need relays/resistors if I’m replacing the bulbs with LEDs? I have an 06 Silverado
QUICK QUESTION IM TRYING TO LOCATE THE TURN SIGNAL FLASHER WIRE AND I HAVE NO LUCK DOES ANYONE KNOWS THE COLOR AND LOCATION LEFT AND RIGHT ( 05 Chevy Silverado) IM TRYING TO CONNECT MY TURN SIGNAL MIRRORS AND MINE IS THE BASE MODEL
Where can i buy the flasher relay for LED? I installed new led light (front) for turn signals, but once i change the turn signals at the back, start the hyper flashings again! All the led are Build-in Load Resistor. Maybe that flasher solve the problem
kyler sempel cat back true duel, 2.5” pipes to 4” tips no mufflers no cross over. I had to cut it off to put my new trainhorn on so I’m going to be getting it redone with something a little different soon
Jeez that pickup is riced right out. At least it's not my style. And that relay is different for 03-07s. It's just above the one you replaced and is longer. There's video on that one to.
put one Led in my 04 silverado got hyperflash so instead of buying a relay taking the dash apart , I think I'll just go back to the regular bulb. !!!!!!
i ordered this for my 2004 gmc sierra and where the factory flasher is on ur truck is one about double the size on mine; making the ep29 too small for it
@@Faix.Garage does it go in the same spot for my 2003 suburban bc I ordered led but took them.out bc of hyper flash and didn't want to put the resistors on bc I was wanting to know another way besides the resistors. If so I'll go get mines today let me know. And if it work I'll put a video in comment section thanking you for advice
Matt Drenkow it’s different for every vehicle bud! Walk your happy ass down to auto zone like I said in the video and figure out what one works for your car or truck 👍🏻
First off, it's not that there isn't resistance but there is a high resistance because the bulb has opened. It's the current being pulled that the vehicles computer system is monitoring. Anyway, Replacing the flasher relay is the best option. That was fine for my 2002 Mustang but I just found out that my 2014 Xterra doesn't have a user replaceable flash relay because it's integrated into the BCM. I've heard that the BCM can be reprogrammed but someone else said it isn't possiible. Nissan service couldn't help because this is non-stock. Some say that the CANBUS rated LEDs would be an option since they're suppose to have circuity that pulls enough current to fool the vehicles electronics into thinking that an OEM bulb is being used. Resistors are an option but the only problem with that is that if your LED goes bad the resistors will be telling the electronics that the bulb is good. And the CANBUS rated LEDs are more expensive.
