Does it matter what resistance they are? Does 50watt/6ohm resistors fix the hyper flash?

Awesome, we are happy our video was able to help!

Glad you found this video valuable 😊

Glad you found it, and hope it helped!

Just installed mine and got the hyperflash issue on the drivers side. Waited 65 days to get them and then this. They are sick looking but this shouldn’t happen…

not to mention their customer service is fucking awful

Oh no! So sorry to hear about your experience, your story is one of the many reasons we try to make content like this. We simply want to help others with information we have learned ourselves!

Yo im doing the same thing your doing! But i still got the truck. Got mine from the retrofit guys and i ask if they can send me the resistors and they said its not going to fix it. But this guy is doin it and it fix it! I dunno man.

@@SunshineStateVikings can you help please.

That’s interesting, it really seems like hit or miss with this issue. Just recently talked to another individual asking about some other options he found to fix the problem as he wanted to be able to correct them during the initial install. had same situation as you, he installed both new AlphaRex headlights and tail lights however he ended up not even having the problem with either one. I’m sure this is why they don’t just send the resistors initially with the product, they likely only have some that experience the problem and have no way to tell which sets will experience it. Maybe it’s all situational.

Do you know what kind of resistors they sent you? How many watt and ohms?

@@artoli7054 they are un-branded but they are for sure 10 ohm resistors (one for each side)

Hey I have alpharex headlights and they have resistors already and the passenger side has hyperflash any tips to find the issue?

Did you have the issue or they already fix it?!!!

We are currently away from home but as soon as we get back we can confirm that for you. They are definitely 100 ohm from I remember. I also am not sure if they sell it. All we had to do was let them know we had the issue and they sent them out to us

@@SunshineStateVikings hi, any luck finding out the specific model/ohm of resistors you used? Thx!

Do you mean that the harness is actually plugged in correctly? I'm having hyperflash when my turn signal is on but they already have resistors and it's only on the passenger turn signal

In my case, one of the metal prongs in the headlight plug was bent over, not going into the holes making the headlight hyperflash. Just look inside the plug and make sure all of the metal prongs go into the holes in the wiring correctly. I did not use a resistor.

@@alfredopeliajr.9229 ok I'll check that cause mine have already resistors attached to the headlights and only the passenger side will hyperflash when turn signal is on

Each light will get its own resistor, it’s basically to look like the bulb for each side

The AlphaRex DRLs stay on all the time. We just resolved this issue by installing an electronics manager and will have a video come out in the next few weeks that will go into it a little further!

It would fix both bc that’s the only reason your taillight is hyper flashing bc the front one is doing it as soon as you fix the front one it should control the back one

It should only be possible if the turn signals are being changed out to LED. If it’s just the low beam it I don’t believe it will affect it.

What LED bulbs did you end up swapping with??

Loki is a 2014 TRD Off-road, we’ve been getting a lot of mixed reports of others either getting hyper flash or not with a variety of situations. Some have had it just installing the tail lights and some have had no issues at all with the same headlights and taillights installed just like us. From what we gather and based off talks with AlphaRex customer support it’s just random as to wether or not it will happen between the product and the truck itself. But either way it’s awesome to hear about your experience and that you didn’t have to hassle with the resistors for your install, it wasn’t bad to do just another step and added stuff is all. Thanks for sharing!

On your 2015 tacoma can u turn off the DRL with your switch or does it constantly stay on ?

@@Th33Oth3rGuy unfortunately the DRL switch is disabled so the surrounding light is constantly on. Other than that it’s all good 👍 I love my alpha rex light 😀

Thank you for probably the most explained version of the relay fix we have ever received. We will look into that for sure to help guide others with that info as well in the future!

Hey bro, can you send me the link for the resistors? I would like to get some too. thank you

It would normally, but the wiring in the later 2nd gens 2012-2015 is way different. If you change the relay the front light will not flash at all.

The 2nd gen with DRL's have an 18pin box that controls the flashing. It doesn't even use a standard type flasher relay.

Yes, that is all that should need to happen. Just be sure to confirm that your wires your about to tap are the turn signal leads just like we showed in the video, you are merely adding resistance to that circuit so your computer thinks the incandescent bulb is still there. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any other questions you might have!

We are happy it all went well for you!

Why not install in fuse box in engine bay?

@@mlapl03 because the fuse in the engine bay is tied to the evap system which momentarily turns on while the truck is off. You may see the lights come on during the night or odd times during the day. It also causes the DRL's to flicker during your engine start/crank which could potentially lower the life span of the LEDs.

@@justifiedbyfaith8971 so would it just be better to not put that in or in some other place

@@aharonvazquez3646 The Alpharex DRL and turn signals require the control box to function. You just want to run a wire from inside the cab to the engine bay instead of using the fuse tap inside the engine bay fuse box. Take note that you will need to cut the fuse tap and add on some wire to extend it. 1. Starting at the fuse tap, Cut off about 8" from the fuse tap and wire. 2. Solder an additional 3-4' of 16-18ga wire. 3. Plug the fuse tap into the fuse box inside the cab that is left of the steering wheel. 4. Run the new wire through the firewall. There are 2 grommets in the engine bay firewall that gives you access to the cabin. The top one has interior carpet trim that prevents you from just feeding the wire through. If you take a slim screw driver, you can shove it through. Tape the wire to the screw driver with electrical tape tightly and pull the screw driver back out. This will fish the wire into the engine bay for you. 5. Strip both ends of the old wire and the new wire and use a butt connector or male/female quick disconnects to connect the wires back. The fuse that you can tap into is the radio fuse.

For a short time yes, I believe the intention is to leave some light on the ground for walking away Convenience.

Did you findout?

Did you find out??

We recommend reaching out directly to AlphaRex!

Did you get it fixed I have the same issue

@@troygregory4127 I have the same issue. Did you ever find a fix? My right side still hyper flashes

No, both our driver side and passenger side lights were hyper flashing.

I did! The package is actually a 2 piece set of 10 ohm resistors. The O in ohm is too close to the 10 so I read it as 100 ohm. They are in fact 10 OHM resistors. Part number listed on the package is just as follows AHL-LR-10OHM-2PC There is nothing listed physically on the actual resistors. If you have an alpha Rex product, I recommend giving them a call as I don’t think they have it on their site for sell. They will either send them to you for free or I think can send them for I think $15 if they weren’t the original seller to you. I hope this info finds you well and helps you fix your issue!

@@SunshineStateVikings I tried looking up that part number on Amazon and Google but didn't get any results. I've been told by someone that any resister will work, even 6 Ohm resisters.

We totally agree it would make it easier if the resistors came with the product. Otherwise the lights are a solid product and we still love ours. Hopefully you get your issue resolved. We also recommend contacting AlphaRex directly about the issue.

I was able to install the resistors I got from Amazon in about 20mins.. was super easy and fast to do… but still having to drive around with my lights all twacked out for a week sucked.. but it is now fixed and working perfectly. 👍

@@mauiazn32 happy it all worked out 💪

What was the link for the Amazon resistors

It certainly is frustrating that they do that. Which is precisely why we made this video to help others navigate the installation. We hope the video helped you install them 👍

No problem! Thanks for leaving a comment like yours, it lets us know we are doing a good job and helps motivate us to keep trying to make useful content like that! ✌️😃 enjoy the lights we still love ours.

Hey man I have the same issue and I need the resistor. How can I order them from Tacoma beast?
