Anybody know which one to buy when LED bulbs are put in to avoid hyper flashing?

Ran a search and found nothing.

Thanks in advance!

Over 50 views on this thread and nothing? Dang lol.

You need to install a resistor. They say to buy "SMD" bulbs but it still isn't good enough.

I personally installed "6OHm 50W" resistors and I get a nice synchronized blink pattern with the dash indicators.

Also if you do get resistors or already have them, make sure if they heat up alot not to mount it on the plastic, but to drill it onto the cars interior metal plate to prevent the trunk carpet from melting! Good Luck!

I'd rather try looking into getting the relay first before getting the resistors, thanks for the FYI though

Either of these links, or cabur's. They all list the CF18, which is what you'll want.

Which Led's did you purchase?

68 LED Amber turn signals from eBay

So wondering... I have the LED Flasher relay in to get rid of the hyper flash, but now the car doesn't flash when I lock/unlock the car? What can be the problem here? Is it because of the new relay?

I believe so. When I was reading about the flasher somewhere I think I remember seeing that. I think that's the benefit of using the resistor instead.

They sell a newer flasher that allows the lock/unlock function to work.

Link to that part?

Dimaoala · 11-09-2011, 07:37 AM

Yes please!

I just got the power mirrors in, and I'd like to see 'em flash! Lol

Some places refer to it as a CF19 flasher, others call it a 2nd-gen or updated CF18. I'd just make sure where ever you order from, they list it as having working lock/unlock.

For example:

Wonder if you could tell the location of this flash relay in the car.
