How to stop LED Fast Flash info

[delta_p]

So adding a couple of resistors to the turn signal grounds would be a good start?

That's how I did mine and everything works fine.

What resistors did you use

What resistors did you use

I used 6 ohm/50 W resistors because that was about the equivalent resistance of the 1157 bulb or whatever bulb was used given its wattage ect. Not sure what actually could be used, I just stuck with that. Just make sure to put them across the turn signals so they are only powered during the flashing. They will get hot at a long traffic light, or hazard flashing, so make sure you mount them to some metal. If you want to see if they work you can clip them across and check out the all the lights before you take time to wire them in. Do up the wiring good as you can, so the next guy has an easy time

I found these 8ohm/50w connectors. I wonder if they'll do the trick.

For anyone wondering, those worked flawlessly. Legitimate plug and play. I just have to figure out where to mount the resistors so I don't melt the front of the truck lol

Against sheetmetal, with a thin layer of heat sink compound to help transfer the heat. Originally, I stuck mine on the inner fender near the core support, which required lengthening the wires a bit. Solder and heat shrink tube are your friends here. I took them out later when I hacked my flasher, but later re-installed them as they were required for my switchbacks and LED corners to work correctly. When I put them back in, I attached them to the flat areas of the core support behind the signals. As long as they're not touching wires or other components you have no worries.

What does the EP29 do in relation to towing? I seen someone else mention doing that instead of resistors and they said they were gonna do the EP29 because they planned on hooking up to a trailer anyways. What would be the difference, if the trailer had LED's? Just curious as I'm either gonna modify the stock flasher or get the EP29. Thanks in advance.

Well, to follow up, I have since installed the EP29 flasher, it works great! I tried hacking the original first, I think I picked one of the adjacent connections also because when I turned my blinker on it flashed once, then never again lol. I have LED corners, and LED's in the parking lights (2 per side) for a total of 6 LED's up front. The flasher I got from O'Reilly's says 4-6 LED's on it. I have LED's in the rear as well, but they came with a resistor already wired in. I am gonna remove those and see if it still works next nice day I get.

Hello everyone. First time poster here.

I have a 94 'Burb C1500. I recently upgraded all the lighting, see pics.

The LED tail lights are from another truck that I've had for a while, the rest I got from Amazon.

The headlights, corners came in first and so I installed them with the taillights before the bumper lights arrived. Everything worked with the incandescent turn signal bulbs installed. The tails came with a resistor that I attached to the back side of the housing.

When the bumper lights arrived, I installed them and get hyper-flash. I called the manufacturer and the only thing they suggested was to return the lights. Frustrated, I re-installed the incandescent bulbs. Still have hyper-flash.

I ordered the EP29 from O'Reilley only to learn that it is for 95 up. Back to O'Reilley to swap for the Novita EP34 for LEDs, which plugs in, and re-installed the LED bumper lights but, alas, no turn signals at all. Emergency flashers still work. My first thought, blown fuse. Nope, re-installed stock turn signal relay, now back to hyper-flash. The LED bumper turn signal light came with 2 large, heat-synced resistors per side. I tried with and without the resistors to no avail. Hyper-flash with stock relay, nothing with EP34.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I tried to post the Amazon links but they don't show up.
