How to install the load resistors for turn signal lights to prevent the hyper flash ?

Your video is so simple straight to the business excellent job

[@wadenvern]

I know this is old, but I will post it anyway. The absolute best way to stop hyper flash is to wire your original bulbs in the same fashion as a resistor. It costs you nothing, and it the perfect resistance. Just tape up the bulbs to prevent light leaks. You can even adjust the speed of the flash by altering the wattage of the bulb. Cheers!

[@Partsam]

Thank you

[@wadenvern]

@@Partsam no prob! I went through the same thing myself, had to use 2 resistors on each side to get the flash to work properly, but had no place to mount them without melting anything cuz the resistors get so hot. Then the idea popped into my head to use the og bulbs…they don’t get hot at all 😊

[@thachification]

Are the resistors going to be constantly hot or only get hot when you turn on signal lights ? Thanks

[@wadenvern]

@@thachification I’m not sure. I didn’t wire in the resistors because there was no room on my bike to put them that wouldn’t be close to something it could burn, so I just used the bulbs, and they only get slightly warm when operating, no where near “hot”

I have a very important question, do I have to install resistors in front and back light to prevent the hyper flashing ,, thank you

[@Partsam]

If the front light is flicker, please just add one pair of the resistors to front light. There is no need to add resistors to back ones if they do not have hyper flash.

[@andre6746]

@@Partsam Meaning we only need 1 resistor for front and 1 for back only right?

[@xRiVaL13x]

You have to install 1 load resister to EACH LED bulb that you replace to prevent hyperflash. For example, if you only upgrade the two front turn signals to LED bulbs then you will need two load resistors. Leave the rear alone. If you upgrade 2 turn signals in the front and the 2 in the rear (total 4 LED bulbs) then you will need to add load resistors to the rear connectors as well.

[@chriskelly9415]

If connect resistor to parking wire instead of turn signal wire, without testing, wouldn't the resistor not work when turn signal is activated?

[@WiekingderViking]

Those Scotch connectors WILL cause you grief in the wet, grimy environment of the motorcycle….learn to solder and use heat shrink. Or, learn the hard way like I did!

[@lukealvarez5240]

You did not leave enough wire from the resistor to connect to the power source or the main ground.

[@MrRockydee07]

So we assume all the wires going to the socket aren't cut so we just splice the resistor to the black ground wire and blue brake wire .

Waldem Mir Buy some power diodes and run them In series with your leds. The diode has to run in a certain direction and it will only allow the brake current to go to brakes and not your led. Try diode in either direction until you get what you want to achieve ( you won’t cause any harm ).

in fact, our part is universal. you can install them at any light position which supported 12V power source, but you need confirm how much resistor you request, so, you need test the current of your light in advance, and here is specifications: Power: 25W Resistance: 8 ohm Voltage: DC 12V And if your light need a 8ohm resistor, however, if you could not make sure of that, this part will not solve your light issue, please understand Any else we can help, please let us know

For your problem, we suggest you test the current and voltage of your light, which means you need to find which resistor your light request, because the one that is 6ohm 50W, if it could not solve your flash issue, We think your light does not request this type resistor Anyway, For a better assistance, what's your vehicle details including Year/Make/Model/Sub model/Door/Trim/Engine, please? we will try to help you find if we have the other resistor for you as the replacement

Please test if the lamp has the same issue at 12v battery, if so it means the lamp is defective, you maybe need a replacement. If not, a resistor should help you solve this issue.

[@stevenc8140]

If the lamp is “blowing” it could mean you have either a dead ground=black wire is grounding intermittently. OR Your Red Power wire is grounding or is loose and is finding a ground. Water, loose connections, or bad connection

[@Bikerboythousand]

You have a fault. Are you touching the glass with your fingers? Putting a resistor in parallel (how video shows)will not lower voltage. This just "loads the line". You must add resistors in series (cut one wire and add in resistor) for it to lower voltage but you probably don't have a voltage problem if only one bulb is blowing. You have a poor connection (rapidly connecting and disconnecting) or maybe a vibration problem that is shaking out the hot filament.

(WARNING - the following comment ONLY applies to LED lighting that is designed and sold SPECIFICALLY for automotive use! All bets are off if you use lighting that you built yourself!) I am sorry to have to say this, but this is not a very good (or safe) way to fix "hyper - fast" turn signal flashing. While the problem with this sort of turn signal flashing IS caused by the change in resistive loads when LED bulbs or fixtures are installed in your turn signal/emergency flasher circuit, it is caused by the type of flasher relay that your car is equipped with, NOT the leds being installed! Up until recently, turn signal relays were designed to rely on the current drawn from the bulbs in the turn signal circuit to show when a bulb had failed by changing the flash rate. With the advent of LED lighting, older model turn signal relays sensed the lower current used by a LED device as being a failed bulb. A fix now exists for this problem - electronic turn signal relays that are not affected by current changes. The fix also allows you to use filament bulbs while eliminating the "fast flash" effect even on filament bulbs Using them eliminates the "fast flash - bulb failure" feature - but it also creates an incredibly easy and safe way to convert to LEDs in the turn signal circuit by simply plugging a new turn signal relay designed for LED lights! Here is how to find and buy the right relay for your vehicle: The most common electronic flasher relays available for older vehicles is the three-prong Tridon/Novita EP35 3-prong ISO (International Standards Organization) or the Tridon/Novita EP34 3-prong JSO (Japan Standards Organization) flasher relay. The only difference between the EP34 and the EP35 is the fact that the power pins on are reversed (ISO vs JSO types) making it very important to determine which one is used on your vehicle. Here is a simple rule of thumb - ISO for American and some European vehicles, JSO for Japanese vehicles. Other electronic flasher types may exist for vehicles that do not use the fairly-common 3-prong flasher relay. you'll have to do your own research to find them. Avoid excessive heat, possible fires and the bother of modding your vehicle. Use an electronic flasher relay. You can purchase either of these relays (depending on your vehicle's design specifications) at most auto parts stores. O'Reilly and NAPA carry them. Be SURE you have the right version! Using the wrong one will destroy it when first used. Using the part number or information on the side of the device will help determine which turn signal to buy.

[@frankmlbbch3763]

THe relay replacement works great I used Novita LM487 Flasher off Amazon on '03 Tahoe;but BCM controls the flashing on gmt900 trucks (07-13) so the resistor is your only solution. The Body Control Module performs the funtion of controlling hyperBlink current sensing. Try finding a flasher relay for these trucks, you wont ... I verified this on AllData schematics.

[@fr3ky]

I installed LED signals at the rear of my bike, with stock on front and 2 resistors connected at the rear side. The rear and front worked no problem, once I connected the front LED's, all I get them turned on Amber but no flash. I just ordered a relay and I'm confused about if the relay is needed along with resistors, or can it replace resistors entirely.. hmm

[@eyesofagemini7715]

Great advice for those that are confused & dont know how 2 properly install a potential fire hazard resistor wasting $ on 2/4/6 resistors when u can buy the electronic flasher for a fraction of the price ure sure 2 pay for just 1 pair of Sylvanias. Lighting control modules will undergo a bypass function by tracing wires & connecting the new relay flasher which controls all the turn/stop lamps. Testing is highly recommended so u get it right the 1st time & dont overload the relays wattage capacity if u have a bunch of high powered leds installed. Be safe & let there be blinding light upon the road ahead.
