just thought i would come back to say i used a different led with a built in resistor and have had no hyper flash issues. definitely better than adding resistors to tail lights. the LEDs i used were "AUXITO CANBUS 7443 7444NA Switchback LED Bulbs with Built-in Resistor Anti Hyper Flash 7443A 7444NAK T20 Dual Color Amber Turn Signal Lights and White DRL/Parking Lights, Pack of 2" off amz

Hi, I am looking to out switchbacks on my 21 premium I just had a few questions.... 1) do you only need a resistor in the taillights in order to have it not flash in the headlights? My taillights already have resistors thats why Im asking 2) I realized with my 21 premium, that the turn signal isnt actually even in the headlight itself. It only lights up in the fog lights. Will installing the switchbacks have it light up in the actual headlight??? Thanks in advance!

@StreetInspired1 Жыл бұрын
They're easy but tricky. You will just point the mirror all the way to one side and put your hand behind the glass and pop it out. It takes a good bit of force and sometimes you can shatter your oem one trying to get it out. But once its out theres one small little pin the derfroster plugs into. Pull that out and then the new ones get plugged in and popped on. The wiring is the tricky part. You have to find wires for the turn signal to tap into.

@StreetInspired1 Жыл бұрын
I would just double-check the connections, and if everything's good, you may need a second resistor. You could test this by swapping one of the leds out with the halogen and see if it stops. If it does, I would add a second resistor in the opposite location of the first one. So if you installed resistors in the rear, I would also install them in the front or switch to a larger resistor in the rear.

Terrible idea. If the resistors are meant for the front, put it in the front. You are loading the rear harness to 55W (14.4V/6Ohm=2.4A or 34W, plus the 21W of the bulb) instead of the 21W bulb it's designed for, as you plugged a resistor there without changing the bulb to LED. That's more than twice the current the wiring was designed for! The wires ARE going to overheat.
