Led hyper flashing solution

[thomas100]

HELLO GUYS,

I WANT TO PUT LED TURN SIGNAL , AND I REALIZE IT WILL HYPER FLASH.

Here are the solutions i found in my search

1. led flasher
2. load resistor
3.7440 992 Hyper Flash Fix Error Free Wiring Adapters For LED Turn Signal Lights, from ijdmtoy.com, please visit the website for the picture, type adapter on the search box and go to the next page and look for the 7440 size.
Currently the adapter is out of stock they will get it next month.

SO i think the adapter is the easiest way to do it, but i dont know how long it last, i think its better than load resistors because the adapter is plug and play, if u do the flasher module its really hard to reach the spot to put in.
Please gave me your advice and greatly appreaciated.

Soldering in resistors in parallel is a simple solution also.

Yes, resistors will work just fine, but using LEDs provide 3 advantages. IMO, LEDs are brighter, usually last forever, and they use less power. Using less power translates to less load on the alternator and in some way, less fuel used. Resistors will work, but what you are doing is re-adding the extra load that you just off-loaded by going to LEDS.

Stock flashers work based on resistive load, that is why a burned out light keeps your flasher from working. Changing to an electronic flasher is really the correct way to fix this. Allthough if you really think about it, the cost of the flasher probably offsets any fuel savings for quite some time.

Toyota's flashers are electronic. They are designed to "hyper-flash" if they sense that the "load' current falls below to a point between 2 to 3 amps. The stock bulbs draw 2 amps each. Normal load per working side is 4 amps.

Also, it has been on noted this forum, the after market flashers which are designed for the LED's do not have the locked or unlocked door flash or to operate the four way flashers, they will only function when the ignition switch is in the on or accessory position. (You can use the search function to verify this.)

Luna2, speaking strictly from an old school knowlege of flashers, I had no idea the Toyota flasher had anything to do with these other features. That's great info....

It surprised me too.
I played with a Camry flasher and figured how to lower the trip point to a point at about 1 amp by using a file on the current sense circuits buss bar.

You will almost destroy the case to disassemble it, not worth it, IMO, but doable.

Thanks much u guys,

but i read somewhere that when u put a led flasher the hazard light dont work, unless the key is in the ignition, thats really a bad thing, also reaching where the flasher is hard and i dont want to mess with that in a new car. Using a resistor is not a bad idea my local store told me the resistor is burning out pretty fast and this thing heat up really fast , u have to put in a safe location.

ANY ONE LOOK IT UP OR USING THE ADAPTER FROM IJDMTOY.COM.
I want to know any one experienced the adapter...

thanksss..
