Do you have really fast blinking directional lights after installing nice new LED headlight bulbs in your car or truck? In this video, Len shows you an easy fix for the hyper flashing, and explains the problem behind it! The most common cause is the flasher relay, which depends on a specific electrical current from halogen bulbs to function properly. If the current is too low, the relay flashes faster, thinking a headlight bulb is burned out! Because LED lights draw far less electrical energy than halogen bulbs, this may cause the relay to flash quickly!
Check out this playlist for more great tips from Len and the other 1A Auto mechanics!

Do those hurt the wiring if you install led tail lights that are plug n play

The relay option is a great idea, but it may only works for older cars. A lot of 2005 and newer vehicles do not seem to have a relay specific to the turn signals, they use control modules instead.

Just stick a resistor between the bulb and the relay. You need to increase the load and reduce the voltage.

*reduce the voltage and lover the load. Thats that resistor would do. But yah it solves cause too big load cause relay to heat faster and blink faster.

Eventually your Right Turn Fuse and Left Turn Fuse will blow up and causing your blinkers not to work anymore to fix it you’ll have to replace the RT Fuse and the LT Fuse for it to work again is better to acquire a relay for LEDS Bulbs

I wired my C bar led wires on mu headlights to the side markers and I’m getting blinking tail lights when I use my turn signals . I was told if you wire the two wires for the led built in too the side marker bulb wires you can get your headlight LEDs too flash with the Blinkers simultaneously. But the issue is my rear led tail lights blink like blinkers and they have No brake lights or running lights. What other way can I wire the front LEDs on the headlights so they turn on as running lights
