$40 for the full relay, then 15 to cover shipping for the next relay he sent since the first one didn't work.

what a rip off.

I can't tell what color the band's are on your resistor but since you still have it can you tell me the order of the color bands on your resistor? with that information I'll be able to tell you what resistance the resistors are..

I did this mod on a 1995 honda accord sedan and it worked perfectly...

Slade, let me text Sean (Buda)....he did mention he had some resistors he can ship....

wont be more than a buck for 2 resistors....(1 to install and 1 just incase)....

Are you good with a solder gun? if so, just swap out the resistor and you should be good to go....

Slade

Viet, once I get home from work I'll be more then happy to tell you the colors.

Swoosh I've never soldered before but I'm gonna give it a shot, I feel like that's the only way I can get it done right at this point I'll PayPal a chase quick pay a dollar for two, that sounds like a great deal lol. I like this forum can I be a member even though I don't have an acura? My k2;4 accord is similar to the 1st gen TSX

iTrader: (5)

you already are a member brothaaa


welcome

Slade

Ok so from left to right the colors are: either gold or brown, red, purple, then yellow.

iTrader: (5)

^^^ I text Sean and he mentioned he is all out of resistors...

hopefully some member who has a few will post up

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

also from the colors, it seems like 4.6K ohms at 5%

you need .24 ohms

Slade

Aw, thanks for trying though. Hopefully someone will offer to sell me some.

Slade

Just to verify is this the correct one?

That should work just fine.

iTrader: (5)

do they carry 1W?


1/2W should work just fine though...

Where can I find quality switchback LEDs that glow white and flash amber and back white when the turn signal is on??

GOOSEej

iTrader: (2)

so doing this mod, eliminates putting resistors on either corner when replace stock bulb with led?

I already have resistors for the rear blinkers

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

Yes doing this mod eliminates the need for using those resistors you tap into the wires.

This mod is the actual CORRECT way to fix hyper blinking.

Installed a 1/2W .24ohm resistor, LEDs all around, works perfect.

It was $1.09 from radio shack. They have an eBay store as well.

GOOSEej

iTrader: (2)

awesome then i must do this instead! I dont like the resistors in the back they get real hot

dlycett

Just did this today with my white led blinkers (non switchback), works like a charm. Burned myself once, but otherwise no casualties Thanks again for figuring out this method

I have one leftover .12 ohm 1w resistor if anyone needs it, just pm me.

I have vled v3 triton switchbacks and vled v3 triton rear turn signals. What resistors should I get? One .12, .06, or a .24? Thanks

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

The tritons have a built in resistor to prevent hyper flashing.

But if you still want to do this mod you'll need a 0.24 ohm resistor. That'll be enough to cover front and rear leds.

But like I said the v3 tritons already have a built in resistor.

In my scenario I already had a 0.24 resistor soldered into my relay. I purchased my v3 triton way after and with the v3 tritons you are able to disable the internal resistor by simply removing the fuse in the control box.

That's helpful for people that already did this mod.

NBP_BALLER

Hey Viet, I put the front switchback v3tritons in yesterday and already have hyper flash that's why I looked up this thread. So I guess it might not have one... I dunno. I don't even wanna use my turn signals right now because I feel like a yard driving with hyper flash

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

That's very weird. When I installed my front v3 gen2 triton switchbacks I was worried that my current "modified turn signal relay" would conflict with the triton switchbacks.

I grabbed the paperwork that came with the triton switchbacks and I noticed immediately it said something about "internal resistor".

If you would like to use the resistor you can leave the fuse attached. If you don't want to use the resistor simply unplug the fuse.

Try looking through the paperwork that came with your tritons again. I'm sure its got to be in there!

Hey guys, haven't been on here recently. I posted in this thread a while back (Post#990) Turns out that the problem was with my front LED's. Switched to switchbacks and everything works as advertised. Thanks OP.

They've changed the instructions on us, I didn't copy over viet's post from the VLED's thread, but they used to say don't hook up the fuse if you donn't want to use the internal resistors (meaning, you have done the hyperflash mod) and now say do hook up the fuse if you want to use the internal resistors (same meaning, different wording.)

So to clarify, NBP, on the wire between the light and the control box is a black cap, pop that bad boy off and stick the 5 amp fuse they supplied in there, that should get rid of your hyperflash, otherwise, do hyperflash mod.

Edit:

Add the fuse right where my pinky finger is

tman

Anyone know if the 2014 MDX have a flasher????? Thx

bla8291

Actually the previous instructions were to remove the fuse if you didn't want internal load resistance, but the one I bought said to not put it in if I didn't want internal load resistance.

mkcb19904

hey guys just finished this mod in 15 mins tops using a .24 ohm resistor on a acura tl 07. i would recommend this mod to anyone that wants leds with no hyperflash with no extra power consumption. this worked like a charm

Thanks rodger

Wait I was right, old instructions had a sweet double negative.

brarboyz

Does anyone know where to buy this resistor in toronto area? Is .24 ohm same as 24ohm?

mzilvar

It seems like Honda has gone away from the relay circuit for this altogether. I was looking to do this mod on my 2012 accord as I'm moving parts over from my tl and found the flasher circuit is now integrated into the drivers side fuse box MICS (multiplexed integrated control system) and would require me to remove and pop the fuse box open and then try to identify the flasher circuit and see if the mod can be done to do it to the accord. If I had a spare one I'd be willing to give it a go but the driver MICU is $200 and I don't want to try.. If mdx is similar were outta luck until someone decides to pop one open

I'd say if there is no flasher relay that you can remove it's probably integrated into the MICS

Slade

Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but I followed the instructions here and soldered in the resistor. It works when the headlights are off. But when I have the headlights on and I use my turn signals they still hyperflash. Can anyone tell me why? I have leds in the front and rear turn signal sockets along with 6000k hids in the headlights.

What resistor did you use

Slade

Sorry for the late response, busy with work and school. Here's the resistor:



"R24 5%"

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

Where did you get that resistor? It does not look like a typical resistor because there are no color bands on it to indicate the resistance.

Is that a 24ohm or 0.24ohm?

Slade

To be honest, I can't remember where and I'm not sure if it's a 24 or .24. Can you tell me which one I need?

vietxquangstah

iTrader: (7)

You need a 0.24 ohm resistor

Slade

Thanks viet Ill order one ASAP
