Dan thanks for a great video on replacing the front turn signals with LED that have canbus! Great job explaining why hyperflashing occurs when you switch from halogen to LED. again best to mention the size of the bulb.
The problem with built in resistors is that not all cars need the same resistance. Another possible issue is the required resistance might change with the parking lights turned on. I might also add that on some older cars, instead of hyperflash, the opposite occurs, no flash at all. I have also seen on some older GM cars, both instrument cluster turn indicators glow dimly when the parking lights are turned on. The solution is to replace the front side marker bulbs with non-polarized LEDs.
Your very welcome. The whole idea of saying that LED turn-signals need ‘CAN Decoders’ is ridiculous, but that is what you get when marketing gets involved, then every other manufacturer has to parrot the same mis-information.
Good suggestion. The problem is that these bulbs get hot after flashing for a while and the high temperature causes the resistors to provide less resistance, causing the car to hyperflash. In this case it is better to use external resistors. More work, but more reliable.
@@DansWay do u expect them to last between 3-6 years? Because compare to Morimoto - XB led bulbs that had 52 3030 SMD led chips, and it makes 30W each. 2W more than Auxito. And their lifespan is 2000 hours, And we all know, the higher the wattage, the shorter the lifespan, because it will built heat more. Yet with cooling fan helps a lot. But the lower the wattage, the longer the lifespan which means less heat built up.
@@toyotabrony, in my experience (as a circuit designer/electrical engineer) the driver circuit driver IC and the capacitors are what fail in LED based designs assuming the LEDs are not cooked by poor heatsink design. The LEDs themselves are good to 20-60K hours. The high temps degrade the caps (especially electrolytics), and the ICs deal with load-dumps, poor input regulation, etc. Same story for most residential LED bulbs that claim 30K hours but seem to last much less than 10K. I feel they are quoting the LED lifetime but not being honest that the driver is what will fail much sooner than that.
@@DansWay that’s what I was thinking similar to what to expect how the led built if it’s to last or not. Now if they draw down to 24W or 21W that meets exactly wattage, that will last much better and with cooling fan, it can last a bit better. But that’s just a thought of a theory. If these failed after one more year or so. Would u buy them again? And why would u want to buy them again? Despite the lifespan is shorter.
@@toyotabrony, for me it comes down to the safety, color, and the brightness of LEDs over incandescent bulbs. These are true for both headlights and for turn signals. I don’t see myself ever going back to incandescent bulbs. I could try another brand, but by sticking with one brand that has a good warranty and good customer service, I know they will always take care of me if I have problems. Auxito has never refused a replacement when I had a bulb fail, but that has only been twice so far, and I have installed a lot of bulbs on my cars and my friends cars. In both of those cases, they failed within a month or two, so likely a component issue or perhaps manufacturing defect. None of my long-term bulbs have failed, and definitely none of them headlights.
Do you know if you can use resistors with bulbs with built in resistors? I bought some built in resistor lights but they still hyperflash so i was going to install resistors.
@DoingThingsDan’sWay I bought the auxito - 7440 42 led chip ones and they are super bright on 1500k. Strong rich amber. One thing though, have u ever get pulled over for having super bright led turn signals? I mean, these increase safety and better.
Hey, so yah, I had a set that I believed to be TOO bright and so I changed them out for something less dramatic. If you dead-front the lens by putting black tint over them, the brighter bulb can cut through the tint, so that would be a good use case for them. Not sure at what point you could get pulled over for being too bright.
I have had no issues with them. The fans are working just fine. They only run during each turn signal blink, so rarely compared to a headlight fan for example.
@@DansWay that’s great to hear. Honestly auxito that make led bulbs with high wattage, a cooling fan is a brilliant idea. Much cooler just like an led low and high beam bulb.
Nobody seems to be able to answer this. Two weeks ago I put in vland headlights on my 2016 Silverado. After installation my right turn signal started hyper flashing. Left turn signal and hazards were fine. The rear turn signal, which isn't led, hyper flashed as well. No bulbs out at all. Two days ago my radio screen went blank when I put my right turn signal on. Ten seconds later it came on then the turn signal quit hyper flashing. My question is what is your opinion as if they are somehow connected?
Wow, that is one bizarre set of interactions. Clearly, those are all electrical systems, but I don’t see how they would be related or interacting except for perhaps battery low-voltage. Are the headlights also functioning as DRL lights?
@@DansWay yes. They also work as drl lights. My truck battery is 4 years old. It's a 6 year battery but that doesn't always mean 6 years. It may need changing. I did wiggle the wires around the day before. I couldn't quite reach them or I would have unplugged it then plug back in. I'm not complaining though. They're working for now. Thanks for responding to me.
Would this work on a 2006 Toyota Sequoia? I wired resistors after installing LED bulbs and they still hyperflash. Wondering if this is the fix I've been looking for.
Very unusual that the resistors didn't work. You could try these, and perhaps keep the resistors as well? The resistors always have worked in my experience.
@DoingThingsDan’sWay Hey how’s goin. Quick question. Since ur video was a year ago to upload about those auxito 3157 resistor free switchback, are they still running great? Are ur white DRL lights and Amber turn signals runs and flash fine? I say that because we had those 3157 auxito resistor free switchbacks, and I just saw my family’s 2017 Toyota sienna le front driver side amber turn signal is not flashing. But my white led DRL lights are fine. We had them for 3 months now. I’m assuming it’s started to become defective. Is urs still fine?
Hey there. Yah, my bulbs are still going strong, no problems with them on my Toyota Highlander. If you have a problem, just contact Auxito and I'm sure they will just send you out replacement parts right away.
@@DansWayand could it be because of the heat built up for DRL white lights that makes 5.5W. And an extra turn signal that it’s a lot brighter and a little hotter? Have u had others that has this 3157 resistor free switchback with no issues? Even with a coolin fan helps more. But I’m curious.
Cool. Do they hyperflash after sometime ? or you can run it for considerable length of time lets say more than 5 mins without any issues. Some Leds with built in resistors would work normal for sometime but then starts hyperflashing.
Good question. I haven't tested that out myself. Not sure when this situation would come up. When using hazards, the hyperflash isn't an issue in my experience.
@shahdadkhan no they will no hyperflash after few minutes because they already update the decoding time, and it will not hyperflash for more than 30 minutes.
@dansway I bought these same exact headlights for my car but I’m getting intermittent hyper flash. I have a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. I put these bulbs in. Initially, after cranking up car, they don’t hyperflash and work perfectly. Then, after a couple of minutes they hyper flash when using the blinkers. Thoughts?
So strange! I haven't seen that behavior myself. Can you confirm the fan is still spinning after a couple of minutes? Perhaps something is happening with the internal resistor/fan combo... Worst case you might still have to add resistors across the power leads to draw more power to fool the car.
Hi Hayden. The internal resistor replaces the power drawn by a single bulb. If you install a second on the same side, you still need to have a internal or external resistor or it will likely hyperblink. Make sense?
@DansWay Hi Dan, if I just replace my halogens on all 4 corners front and rear would it still hyper flash? Nothing else will be installed. Everything else will be stock. Thanks
These will not get hyperflash at all. Compare to lasfit T2 series, the it out performs very well from auxito. These auxito led turn signals with a resistors built in, update decoder to hold the hyperflash, and it has a built on fan. For way better and doubles the heat dissipation.
I have also used these types of LED bulbs with built-in resistors for the turn signals on my previous cars and they worked well without getting too hot. The benefit of the turn signal turning on and off helps them not get too hot. But when you use LED bulbs with built-in resistors that have to stay on constantly, such as daytime running lights, they are not suitable and would quickly become much too hot and fail quickly or worse, melt your lamp unit. But in the case of turn signals this is hardly a problem. However, I do not trust the bulb with the small fan shown here. Such small fans tend to fail very quickly. And by switching the bulb on and off, the fan also keeps switching on and off, so I doubt whether it has much effect on the temperature.
@@davixastro8765either Lasfit or Auxito with built in resistors. Price difference, and Lasfit is $60, and Auxito $20-$30 less. But there’s a reason because it has better quality than before. Either way. U will have a great choice for either of those options.
The other option is to install a large resistor to dissipate the power. I don’t think that these will fail for a long time unless you regularly leave your hazard lights on for hours at a time. The hub is in the sealed fixture so there isn’t any dust/moisture to worry about either.
It depends on ur vehicle. So u might as well add an extra resistor with more wattage to make sure that the computer will be operating properly to meet and exceeds the wattage.
ok. I am surprised that someone came out with a klutzy bulky relay resistor switch to mimic the flasher relay in the fuse box. ususally, the simple solution should be to replace the non-LED flasher relay with a LED flasher relay in the fuse box. the built in resistor in the new LEDs makes it compatible with the current non-LED flasher relay in the fuse box interesting. I don't know about this. I think it makes sense to have a dedicated LED flasher relay for LED lights.
I hear you in the suggestion, and ideally you are right on. The challenge is cars have a variety of relay types so compared to a $2 resistor, the relay replacement would be more complicated and expensive to implement.
So I used these on my 2016 Highlander. I initially got the Auxito bulbs without the resistor and got the hyperflash which is too bad as they were super bright. Got these and no more your flash BUT. When headlights are on for this model the turn signals illuminate and then flash when activated. These bulbs do not illuminate when headlights are on but do flash when activated. They also aren’t quite as bright as the non resistor variety. So they re. CLOSE replacement, but not exact for incandescent. Good video otherwise though
Sounds like you need the dual LED versions that have both running light and turn signal functions (two different fillaments in the same incandescent bulb). So you would want to select the following one: Bi-Color White/Yellow: geni.us/Turn_Bi-Color_W-Resitr
No??? I've never had a fire issue or overheat with these. They are way more efficient than an incandescent bulbe (10X better), so much less heat in the fixture. Worst case the LED would overheat and burn out. These turn-signals with fan are even better protected due to the fan.
"NO Resistors Required" because they are buitin the bulb. So, as a resistor, it will dissipate current, generating heat. That is because this LED will metl itself, melt the housing and before it may work intermitent.
Only depends on how many wattage it makes. And this one makes 28.8 watts per bulb. With aircraft 6063 aluminum, a carved edges to escape the heat, and a built-in fan to dissipate the heat faster.
@@toyotabrony I would not trust those small fans. A normal incandescent bulb dissipates about 21 watt, so why does the build-in resistor has to be 28.8 watts? The more watts, the more heat it wil generate. The LED's itself are consuming 4 or 5 watts so a resistor of 16 watt should be sufficient and generating less heat.
@@ruudwilschut9095 with that much wattage. It does need a cooling fan to dissipate heat. It’s very necessary for that. We have it from auxito 3157 switchback with a cooling fan. And it’s a sweet set
@@ruudwilschut9095 that’s because an led with 28 watts has built in resistors, and it needs a fan to cool off, so t he at the electronic won’t get slowly destroy for that kind of power
I've never seen a resistor cause damage as they only pull power similar to the old bulb, enough to trick the car into thinking the bulb is still alive...
I've never really thought about changing the relay. I guess it would need to be one without current sense right? Newer cars are using electronic current sensing so it isn't even a relay anymore (Hyundi Kona for example).
Why the F these garbage turnsignals need a fan? In terms of price, quality and durability, Philips and Osram are lightyears ahead of these chinese garbage.
I think you don't understand the value of what they are providing. Auxito turn-signal LEDs don't need the fan to function. What these particular turn-signal lights add is the extra resistor to litterally burn off extra power so that the car doesn't think the bulb is burned out. Without the extra power drawn by the resistor, the LED current would be so low that the car will 'hyperflash' the bulb to indicate that one of the bulbs is burned out. The fan is required because the resistor has to burn off several watts of power to keep the car happy, and this extra heat would damage the board and reduce its lifespan. These bulbs go in a sealed enclosure, so there really isn't any concern for dust over time either.
@@DansWay I imagined what the fan is there for. Drawing the same power, i dont see the point of a LED instead of a regular bulb. I have installed a pair of Osrams 2W per piece and coded the car not to monitor the turn signals. I think its a better deal.
There’s nothing garbage about these well made led bulbs. Reason is because it makes 28.8 watts per bulb. With that kind of power generate more heat. Not only it needs a heatsink. But a cooling fan helps to dissipate the heat more efficiently.
Sylvania/Osram and Philips makes the best tried and true led bulbs. But it’s basically a buy and try and depends if these work well with our application. Plus it’s not bright enough, if u want ultra bright led lights.
@@robertplant6667with 2 wattage led bulbs on a factory 21 watt. The computer thinks the bulb is burned out when it’s not. That’s why u need either 1 a load equalizer resistor with between 21-50 watts per bulb. It will have enough power to stop the hyperflash just by tricking the computer that ur running a incandescent bulb but with led. Or u can get an led flasher relay so that u don’t have to worry about hyperflash. But if the vehicle is longer give u the access to change the flasher relay and it’s been relocate that u can’t change it. That’s why an led bulb with a built-in resistors comes in to play.
I understand the concern. If the fixture is water tight however, the fan is contained in that enclosed environment and only pulses on when the light is on, so very little use over the lifetime of the car.
Ur wrong. These led bulbs with a built in fan. Doesn’t make noise at all. In our experience, they are nice and quiet. Unless u want to listen closely. And it’s very nice to have a cooling fan, because with a fan. It can cool a lot more led @Jonzo22 Nowadays with right kind of cooling fan, they will not fail.

There's a little built in fan, so that should cool the bulb enough
I have purchased these bulbs but my truck has already have resistors on it can I still use these bulbs
Sure, shouldn’t be a problem. Worst case you can cut the resistor wire off.
Does the resistor also stop the Canbus flashing when the car is off when it checks if the bulbs are still working?
I’m not sure how it would test the bulb without lighting it up? Resistor should be active all the time.
Is it blinding at night? I just installed LED front and back indicator bulbs and im concerned if im gonna be blinding other drivers

When headlights are on for this model the turn signals illuminate and then flash when activated. These bulbs do not illuminate when headlights are on but do flash when activated. They also aren’t quite as bright as the non resistor variety. So they re. CLOSE replacement, but not exact for incandescent. Good video otherwise though
Sounds like you need the dual LED versions that have both running light and turn signal functions (two different fillaments in the same incandescent bulb). So you would want to select the following one: Bi-Color White/Yellow: geni.us/Turn_Bi-Color_W-Resitr
You sure you didn't order the single filament version of the bulbs? Like ordering 3156 when you needed 3157? This would cause that issue.
Does these leds catch fire ? Most of the time LEDs generate more heat
No??? I've never had a fire issue or overheat with these. They are way more efficient than an incandescent bulbe (10X better), so much less heat in the fixture. Worst case the LED would overheat and burn out. These turn-signals with fan are even better protected due to the fan.
No they will not.
Unless they stuff so much wattage, and they are just made of bunch PCB with no heatsink. Maybe it can.
But not with Auxito.
Those resisters get smoking hot. I doubt the bulbs last long. Better off replacing the flasher
The whole point of the fan is to keep it from overheating.
You lost me at "little teeny fan"
"NO Resistors Required" because they are buitin the bulb.
So, as a resistor, it will dissipate current, generating heat. That is because this LED will metl itself, melt the housing and before it may work intermitent.
Only depends on how many wattage it makes. And this one makes 28.8 watts per bulb. With aircraft 6063 aluminum, a carved edges to escape the heat, and a built-in fan to dissipate the heat faster.
It’s a smart design. A built in resistor is a better option for pure plug and play
@@toyotabrony I would not trust those small fans. A normal incandescent bulb dissipates about 21 watt, so why does the build-in resistor has to be 28.8 watts? The more watts, the more heat it wil generate. The LED's itself are consuming 4 or 5 watts so a resistor of 16 watt should be sufficient and generating less heat.
@@ruudwilschut9095 with that much wattage. It does need a cooling fan to dissipate heat. It’s very necessary for that. We have it from auxito 3157 switchback with a cooling fan. And it’s a sweet set
@@ruudwilschut9095 that’s because an led with 28 watts has built in resistors, and it needs a fan to cool off, so t he at the electronic won’t get slowly destroy for that kind of power
Resistor can damage you electrical system I bought led lights cambus error free but they blink to fast turn signal I pay Over $50.00 An eBay
I've never seen a resistor cause damage as they only pull power similar to the old bulb, enough to trick the car into thinking the bulb is still alive...
or just buy the upgraded relay for your car.
I've never really thought about changing the relay. I guess it would need to be one without current sense right? Newer cars are using electronic current sensing so it isn't even a relay anymore (Hyundi Kona for example).
@@DansWay Yes, that may be true, but for most cars they do have relays you can buy which are upgrades for the LED bulbs.
Hey Babe 😘
That's my girl... 😉
Why the F these garbage turnsignals need a fan?
In terms of price, quality and durability, Philips and Osram are lightyears ahead of these chinese garbage.
I think you don't understand the value of what they are providing. Auxito turn-signal LEDs don't need the fan to function. What these particular turn-signal lights add is the extra resistor to litterally burn off extra power so that the car doesn't think the bulb is burned out. Without the extra power drawn by the resistor, the LED current would be so low that the car will 'hyperflash' the bulb to indicate that one of the bulbs is burned out. The fan is required because the resistor has to burn off several watts of power to keep the car happy, and this extra heat would damage the board and reduce its lifespan. These bulbs go in a sealed enclosure, so there really isn't any concern for dust over time either.
@@DansWay I imagined what the fan is there for. Drawing the same power, i dont see the point of a LED instead of a regular bulb.
I have installed a pair of Osrams 2W per piece and coded the car not to monitor the turn signals. I think its a better deal.
There’s nothing garbage about these well made led bulbs.
Reason is because it makes 28.8 watts per bulb. With that kind of power generate more heat. Not only it needs a heatsink. But a cooling fan helps to dissipate the heat more efficiently.
Sylvania/Osram and Philips makes the best tried and true led bulbs. But it’s basically a buy and try and depends if these work well with our application.
Plus it’s not bright enough, if u want ultra bright led lights.
@@robertplant6667with 2 wattage led bulbs on a factory 21 watt. The computer thinks the bulb is burned out when it’s not.
That’s why u need either 1 a load equalizer resistor with between 21-50 watts per bulb.
It will have enough power to stop the hyperflash just by tricking the computer that ur running a incandescent bulb but with led.
Or u can get an led flasher relay so that u don’t have to worry about hyperflash.
But if the vehicle is longer give u the access to change the flasher relay and it’s been relocate that u can’t change it.
That’s why an led bulb with a built-in resistors comes in to play.
I don't like the idea of adding a mechanical fan to my lights, just adds noise and something that will fail in the future
I understand the concern. If the fixture is water tight however, the fan is contained in that enclosed environment and only pulses on when the light is on, so very little use over the lifetime of the car.
Ur wrong. These led bulbs with a built in fan. Doesn’t make noise at all.
In our experience, they are nice and quiet. Unless u want to listen closely.
And it’s very nice to have a cooling fan, because with a fan. It can cool a lot more led
@Jonzo22
Nowadays with right kind of cooling fan, they will not fail.
