Hey guys I just get LED tail lights, but now the turn signal flash rapidly (fast). WHat kind of resistor do I need to fix it? How many of each? And where can I get it from? This is the pictures of the tail lights, minus the reverse lights and the corner lights. I don't have the LEDs on the reverse and the corner lights. Just the turn signal and the brake lights. THanks...

Sick lights! .... but how much did you pay for them?

 

lol.. same pictures on yahoo auction....

 

a member here posted a diy on how to install a resister on each tail light harness. another on replaced the relay under the dash by the driver side.

 

I know. I had somebody make me one like that

 

how much do they go for? they look sickkk !

 

Anybody got a Link?

 

Did he ever get the relay working? I thought that thread died without resolution...

Edit:Nevermind, I didnt notice this was 2nd gen

 

yeah these are the tails from japan with that stupid ass square sidemarker...the rest of the lights look perfect though..i think these are like $600 or something...hell naw

funny how mine is there.. but where's doc's...

 

Thank You.

 

^ no problem...


remember! those little suckers get hot.. i didn't kno where to mount them to but seems like they don't give me any trouble...

 

Does that resistor make the turn signal flash normal?

 

yea, thats why i did it.

 

If it's an LED bulb, then yes.

Here's what happens. The car has a feature that makes the signal blink extra fast when you have blown light bulb (regular kind of bulb).

When you put in an LED bulb it draws so little power, the car thinks the bulb is blown and goes to "fast blink" to let you know.

When you add the resistor, it tricks the car by drawing add'l power --> car thinks the regular bulb is there and working fine = no "fast blink".

 

What do you think about this?

^ yea. thats the alternative way..

 

Which one do you guys think is better? Resistor or this?

THank you...

 

Replacement flasher looks like the better route- not very expensive and no wire hacking, plus easier & faster.

 

and safer. the resistor heats up and if it gets hot enough, could start melting the plastic lining or wires.

 

$150. I supply my own tail lights

 

Let us in on your connection pls....

His screen name is ACURA`TL`TYPE-$

 

Are you pleased with them? How do they look at night?

 

I don't have it back yet. I should have it by Thursday.

 

Got the tail lights back today. I'm gonna try to put it on the car tomorrow

 

If you can, post various day/night tail/stop pics. Thanks.

 

I'm having an issue with my front passanger side turn signal...it looks like not only is it blinking rapidly but the front blinker isnt working at all. The rear turn signal is working but of course its blinking pretty fast

btw i have stock lights

 

Check the bulb on your front passenger.

 

Any feedback? How do they look?

 

I had the tail light install. But the running lights on red isn't bright enough. So I play around with the resistor (another ohm) try to make it brighter, and end up did something wrong. THe light won't even work. I sended back to him yesterday to working on. I should get it back end of next week.

 

doesnt work all the time, i had the hyperblinking problem after i threw some leds into the turnsignals and replace the stock flasher this morning with an after market one took off the housing so it'd fit and still didn't work

 

so about this diy, if i only have leds in the front turn signals will it still fix the problem if i install the resistors in the rear? or do i have to put em up front by the leds

 

I dunno about 99-01 but I'm pretty sure its the same.

I have an 03 and I got those exact resistors that he used (3 Ohms, 50 Watts) and they stopped the hyper flashing when I only had my rear led turn signals in. Then I put in switchbacks in the front and they still stopped hyper flashing. I got it from V-leds and they were great.

 

no you will need resistor set ups on both the front and rear if both of them are doing it

 

alright so i might be retarded, but i cant figure out how to get the black and the green/yellow wires out of the bulb harness so that i can put those through the blue pieces of the resistor........ can somebody shed some light on this situation?
