Hey guys I posted a little description in my progress threadabout this issue but I figured that it would get more attention here in thissection of the forum.
So my problem right now is that my turn signals neitherfront or rear illuminate at all ONLY while my headlights are on and/or parkinglights. While my headlights are off the turn signals both work 100 percentnormal. I installed the .24 ohm resistor on the relay and that got rid of myhyper flash so that is okay but now my problem is not being able to use my turnsignals at night. This problem was still happening even before the resistor wasinstalled. (Not sure if that info helps) What is weird is that when myheadlights are turned on the turn signals for the front rear and even on themirrors turn on and they stay on constantly. Even on the dash my signal lightsare on constantly. Anyone ever had this problem? If so how did you fix it it isdriving me crazy.
My second problem is my DRLS. I just installed the iJDMtoyDRLS and they worked fine up until yesterday when I noticed that the wire thatruns the bumper from headlight to headlight got too close to the engine and itstarted to melt away the insulation on the wire. I see two red wires inside ofit and one wire seems to be almost cut through. My resistors that are mountedby each headlight are VERY hot too but I’m not sure if it is because of thatwire that melted. Should I just try and rewire the little section that burnt ?
Any help is appreciated.

Bump. Gotta fix this ASAP

For signals, are you sure you did a nice job on the .24 resistor?
Where did you buy the resistor from?

Rickyp39

I took it to a shop to have them solder it on since I don't have a nice solder gun. The guy seems like he knows what's he's doing but is there something specific that has to b done that he wouldn't know about ? I got the resistor from project 04 tl on here. He has extras from the ones he used.

Sounds like that's not the problem.

You know that relay box for signal, unplug it and plug it back in. When I did mine, couldn't plug it back in the first time and my signals were acting stupid

Can't think of anything else + you are saying it was happening before the .24 also

Rickyp39

Okay I will try doing that. And I know that's why it's weird cuz I didn't do anything else to the car to make it do that to the lights. Unless the DRLS had something to do with it. Ughhh thanks for the help tho man !

Well... does that DRLS has anything to do with signals?
Sorry, I have no idea about DRLS thing

Rickyp39

To my knowledge they don't affect each other whatsoever. But someone out there knows more than me lol

Project 04TL

you might want to take the relay out and check his work .. maybe post a pic of it.

if it was working fine before you put in the resistor then i would lean toward that.

Rickyp39

Thats the weird thing about this tho. I thought that installing the resistor on the relay would fix that because it happened even before the resistor was in there. You think it could be the LEDS?

Might be a long shot but when you installed the LED's, did you have them backwards where they didn't work at all and then flip them around?

When I got my V3 Triton bulbs, if one was plugged in backwards, they wouldn't signal but every single light INSIDE the car would flash like they were the signals! My navi, dash lights, everything!!

Flipping them around or "reversing the polarity" fixed the problem.

If all else fails, I would put your stock halogens back in and see if that cures your problem.

Rickyp39

When I installed them they worked on the first try! Every one of them actually. Should I try flipping them anyway tho? Or maybe only one half of the car

Rickyp39

And if I put the stock halogens back in wont the resistor throw something off ?

Rickyp39

Update:

I flipped the LEDs on only one side and then on both and that didn't do anything. It just made them not work at all but still have the same problem.

I reinstalled the regular stock bulbs only in the rear and everything works fineEXCEPT for one thing. When I turn on my parking lights the front parking lights will not turn on. They do flash when I turn the turn signal but they do not stay on like they would on a stock tl. Is that normal ?
