I did the same
Thanks Very much for your post. I replace the rear turn signals last night and the front turn signals as well with the lasfit. Wow, what an amazing difference.
I did the same. No hyper flashing, simple install.
Some driver's now a days don't pay attention like they should. If these turn signals don't get their attention, then they shouldn't be driving.

Does anyone know where the turn signal relay is located? Experienced hyper flashing with the Lasfit led turn signals I installed. Wondering if I need to replace the relay with an led relay?
That's weird. I haven't had an issue at all since I installed them 2 yrs ago. I think it happened once when I sat at a light for a seriously long time. But not since.

I had the Lasfit ones installed in the front and back- and found that they normally didn't hyperflash unless they were on for more than 3-4 minutes. Unfortunately, there is one intersection near my home that it sometimes a rediculous amount of time to get through an intersection when turning left- and the lights would hyperflash at that intersection.

I really like the way that they look- but really am concerned because there are situations where it would be dangerous if the lights hyperflashed or stopped working due to overheating... like if you were in an accident and your vehicle is blocking traffic- you'd want your hazards on until the vehicle was safe/able to be moved... which could take significantly longer than 2-4 minutes. I'd hate for the lights to stop working if I were on the side of a busy highway trying to change a flat tire.

For that reason, I took out the rear LEDs and replaced them with the stock bulbs. I left the front LEDs in- mainly because if they fail to work because of overheating- the headlights can be turned on to make the car more visible after an accident- plus it only takes about thirty seconds to swap the bulbs in the front... it's a bit more time consuming to do the rears because you have to remove the entire fixture to gain access to the bulbs.

The bulbs wouldn't stop working. They would continue to hyperflash till not needed any longer. No reason to go to regular bulbs which are dimmer and less safe than led.

The same happened to me once. Had to sit in a long line of traffic through 3-4 light changes and in my town the lights stay red/green for what seems like forever. In normal traffic I haven't had any issues. If I see that it is going to long wait I'll just turn the signal off while sitting in line then turn it back on when I approach the intersection since I get tired of hearing the blinker noise anyway. Still worth it to me since they are so much brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs.

Mine tend to be somewhat unpredcitable when they they overheat. Sometimes they do hyperflash... then they stop for a few seconds, then hyperflash again... then stop... not something that I want happening if I want them to work as designed if I'm changing a tire or if an police officer is investigating a crash and suddenly notices that my turn signals aren't working properly.

I've started to do that at the intersection that I've talked about. It has a very long turn lane. I flip the turn signal on until I get into the lane- then turn it off... then wait until I'm actually going to make the turn before turning it back on.

Toyota's current turn signal clicks do seem to be a lot louder than in my last Toyota- a 2007 Camry. None of my recent Accords were that loud... at least in terms of their turn signals.

I installed the Auxito 7440 7443 Anti Hyper Flash LED bulbs recently. So far everything works great and no hyper flash. I tested them for 8 minutes continuously without any problems.

As we all know heat is the enemy with these types of bulbs, as the resistor heats up to a certain point the safety feature kicks in , current bypasses the resistor and they start hyper flashing.

Auxito combats this heat problem with 4 large vent holes around the main body as well as 8 vent slots in the fins near the base.

These aren’t as bright as the Lasfit bulbs but are plenty bright, cars back off quick on the highway at night when you go to make a lane change. Auxito are 3x brighter than stock halogen , Lasfit are about 6x brighter. I’ve not been flashed yet, so far so good.

Just another option for those still undecided about this upgrade.

I used to run Lasfit LEDs and had the same hyperflashing issues after 4 minutes of constant blinking. I've since replaced them with Auxito blacks and these LEDs can blink for over 15 minutes with no issues.

I've not had any issues with my lastfit but if I sit more than a few minutes it'll start to do it which is rare really. I may consider swapping them however.

Can you link us to the bulbs you ordered? It seems my lastfits are now hyperflashing after 3 yrs of use alot more now. Time to replace.

I ordered them directly from Auxito’s website.
The ebay seller doesn’t ship to Canada.
I figured any warranty claim would be easier if bought direct.

I’ve replaced mine with the auxito ones recommended above. They have been solid with no more hyper flash. I definitely recommend them over the lasfit ones now.
