I had this same problem with my new LED light conversion on my 2009 Honda Accord.thank you for helping me out with the problem,so now I can fix it too.
I have that problem with my Trailblazer and Silverado, just didn’t know if I had to put Resistors in back and front . Thanks bro👍🏽
Very simple. Thanks for posting. I thought it was complicated.
You just made my day with my 2017 Toyota Corolla!🙂
Joaquin Savu was wondering if you need resistors for all 4 sides of your Corolla?
finally, i found the answer that i looking for after several month.
thanks for the vid, really helped me out :)
Thank you very much for teaching.
Thanks for the info:)
Thanks for the vidz.its really helped.
Great video!!
great I had HID fog lamps 1 failed could not purchase another HID bulb so the sparky installed original fog lamp bulbs then indicators were racing, so I'm going to install a led indicator unit.
cheers and thanks for your posting
I have a Switchback and I need to mount the resistors because one is going to be on continuous and I wonder do you have a video on that type of mounting?
Great video! Will this work on other cars? like BMWs?
Do you know if these led lights are compatible with a 14 Cruze? And I have two resistors installed in the front, so will it fix the hyper Flashing? There is no hyperflash with two leds in front, and two halogens in back. So if I get no resistor needed lumen led's, will all the hyperflashing go away? And again does these turn signal bulbs work for Chevy Cruze
THANKS
Do you have any or know of any videos for modifying a load resistor for the 3157 turn signal bulb for a 2015 Honda Pilot
do you know where i can buy the same set up but in 3757 bulb socket?
I have been wandering around the internet trying to find the answer to my question whether I need 4 load resistors, each one for each LED installed or just 1 set (2 resistors) per car. This video answered it - one set per car. Thank you!
thanks for the info I have a freightliner and vovlo that I'm trying to update lights on do you have any information or ideas where I can get hids and leds for them I can't find the ones that you have
christoval soto , either at
Carid.com or Headlight Revolution.com
Are this resistor good for a ck type light socket?
I like Honda Van look nice
Except for the transmission 😡
Beautiful Video ,
Replacing the flasher relay is the best option. That was fine for my 2002 Mustang but I just found out that my 2014 Xterra doesn't have a user replaceable flash relay. I've heard that the BCM can be reprogrammed but someone else said it isn't possiible. Nissan service couldn't help because this is non-stock. Some say that the CANBUS rated LEDs would be an option since they're suppose to have circuity that pulls enough current to fool the vehicles electronics into thinking that an OEM bulb is being used. Resistors are an option but the only problem with that is that if your LED goes bad the resistors will be telling the electronics that the bulb is good.
A small price to pay for salvation
Another youtuber I watch named "DIY: Car Modz" did a temperature test with these generic load resistors you typically find all over the internet and some high quality ones he got. After just about 4 minutes of flashing it showed over 300 degrees F!!! They get EXTREMELY HOT! The high quality ones he got only got mid 100's. Not sure if you were aware of that, but just wanted to let you know. Perhaps it could be another future video for you.
Thanks for the info. I checked the spec sheet for these 50W wire wound power resistor in aluminum heatsink. The main composition of the resistor is copper nickel alloy encapsulated in silicone/cement. The max rated temperature is +275 C or 527 F. I remember back in the days (yes I am old), these power resistors were soldered on PCB without heatsinks and they do get hot. So if your application do get the load resistors that hot, you don't have to worry about the part failing but perhaps worry about surrounding plastic parts which might melt. ABS plastic commonly used in cars melt at 105 C or 221 F. But for these turn signals and the cycle of time it's actually on, I wouldn't worry about it. Good to know as I also learned something these power resistors.
dial2fast i bought all the items listed for my 06 honda odyssey exl and i still have the hyper flash.
I actually would worry about it. My concern would be if you need to use your hazards for any reason. If you have these resistors mounted in a bad spot, you could do all kinds of damage to your vehicle. That would mean you'd have to decide whether or not turning the hazards on would be worth it to you when you are on the side of the road fixing a flat tire.
My suggestion would be to ensure that these resistors are mounted in appropriate locations the first time.
EDIT: I say this because my resistors do indeed get very hot when my hazards are on for only a minute.
Tennis Ball or put some kind of heat wrap sleeve over the resistor to keep it from melting various things that would get be close to it.
Shawn Floyd yes, heat wrap sleeve and also metal zip ties mounted to a metal surface to dissipate the heat.
Do I need all 4 resisters on my 2016 Nissan Rogue
2001 C5 Corvette. i replaced the front bulbs with LED's because the heat was melting the housings. After replacing all four rear 3056's w/ LED's, I got hyperflash. I installed the relay
and all is well except... When the tail lights are on the brake lights work fine, yet when
I use the turn signals the rears light up but don't flash and the fronts do!?? Ideas?
Hi I buy a headlight with sequential signal for Camry 2011 but the everything works except sequential signal I check fuses but is good i connect old signal lights and work correctly
How about the rear turn signal? Does it need resistors to prevent hyper flashing or just front only and fix hyper flashing front and rear?
Those resistors should really be connected to a metal part to act as a 'heat sink' that will drain unwanted heat from them.
Do i need 4 load resistor front and rear?toyota innova 2016.
nice job
awsome video! how hot does the resistor get?
hi this 2 resistor works for 4 led lamp? or only reverse signal
What should I do for my Toyota Camry 2016xse?
The resistors simply replace the load that is normally supplied by a filament type bulb (which is also a type of resistor). 50 watt resistor or 50 watt light bulb both produce approximately 50 watts of heat. The resistor actually produces more heat since none of the energy is producing light, just heat. I don't want to put a 50 watt light bulb against anything that will burn or melt, or try holding it very long. A 50 watt resistor produces nearly the same 50 watts of heat. It needs to be mounted to heat sink material for safety.
I wonder if they sell hype flasher relay I can swap on then adding and wiring up on hardness 🤔
I don't have the hyper flashing problem with the lights. Just my dash signals hyper flash. Will that hurt anything.
I bought the same resistors and led lights and swap out my stock ones just like how you did yours but it still hyper flash when signaled. I need another pair of resistors for the rear???
My van is 2007.
Just bought a set of two. Hope I’m not listing to hyper ticking anymore. Ill give an update when they arrive in 5 days.
??
let say if ive switchback dual color on front and yellow LED on rear ..do I need to have 4 resistors or just either 2 for front or rear?
That’s what I got too
Did it work?
After putting load resistor on LED turn signals, if & when they ever burn out will they hyper flash on the dash so that you are aware like it's suppose to ?
Hi! Great video! So you only used 2 load resistors? Not 1 for each corner? If it's only 2, does it matter if you put them on the front OR the back? Also, do you have a link to purchase them? Thank you very much Sir!
Only need 2, and you can put it at the front or the back. So one resistor for each side.
Can I jus add a canbus set of led’s in the front or back n then jus a regular pair of led’s?
Tim Dennison it won’t work
So if I have hyper flashing !! I only need to load resistors or 4
Do I need 4 load resistors if I have front and rear turn signal LEDs? I have 2011 Accord EXL i4
For most cars, you only need one load resistor on each side.
Wish I was smart enough to come up with low amperage flashers for every application...could be a small gold mine for customer demand...just thinking..have hyper-flash on my 350Z after installing led bulbs
What year is your 350Z?
Does all car's same light
@dial2fast
I just recently lookin for a plug and play fix resistor for my family’s 2017 Toyota sienna LE.
U mention about if we can put both front and/or rear fox plug-and-play load equalizer resistor.
U only installed two plug-and-play fix load equalizer resistors for the front? And not the back?
Is it because the resistors produce 50 watts and it’s enough power to spread the power to the back of the led turn signals with no hyper flashing?
So does that mean, I’ll be ok using just a pair of L.E.R to mount either front or rear that deletes the hyperflash?
And I don’t need two pair for both front and rear?
The hyperflash problem comes from the left and right turn flasher relay. For most cars, there is one flasher relay for the left and one flasher relay for the right. This is why the front and rear light flash at the same time. Therefore you install one load resistor on the left and one on the right.
@@dial2fast in other words, one pair for front left and front right led load equalizer resistor is enough to handle the hyperflash?
And not needed for extra pair for the rear?
And also, how long u had this? U still running with the load equalizer resistor yet? No issues?
What happens if we drive on road with such hyper flash because I don't want to overload car's battery by using such load resistors ?
Do the front turn signals have the same issue and will I need to buy the resistors
One resistor is for one side fwd+aft as both are wired in one circuit plus all theses golden resistors are rated @50 W which is enough for the application
Hello there and very nice video, please would you mind if ask you on how to get the exact size and the right resistor for my 2010 Mazda CX-9 and where to order it perhaps amazon or eBay as well thank you so much.
The link I provided in the description is for the 7440 bulb. I just looked up your 2010 CX9 and it also uses 7440 on the front turn signal, so you can buy the same one as what I listed in the link.
dial2fast ok thanks alot for that I really appreciate it and as you say back and front bulbs are the same size and please tell more about the resistor how can I get it or order it and beyond
I have changed both front and rear turn signals to LEDs. So do I need 2 load resistors or 4? Thanks
did he answer your question,do you.
@@moesboy48 not yet mate
Mir Faiz yep need it for all 4. If you have an older car get an led flasher relay.
if i just installed led to the back turn signals and not the front, will i still have hyper flash? can i use 7440 led in my 7443 and will the turn signal work properly or would i have to buy 7443 (thats what the bulb in the car says)
So you only need 2 load resistors then and you hook it up either in the front or the back. Thank you.👀👍🏿
Yes
If you change both front and rear turn signals to LEDs. Do I need 2 load resistors or four. TKS
You need 1 resistor per side.
dial2fast like just one in the back or in the front? I also changed all four turn signals to led
I have a bmw 3 series, and my right signal light has that hyperflash problem. Also the rear right signal light is extremely dim. Would putting the resistor on the front help with both problems? Thanks for the video.
Your light has an electrical problem. It needs to be repaired. Resistor won't help.
dial2fast isn't it the same issue shown in this video?
The issue in this video was specifically for removing the hyperflash issue that comes with replacing indicators with LEDs. These have nothing at all to do with how bright the lights are. If your rear indicator is dim, then there is definitely an electrical issue somewhere. Unless simply replacing that bulb fixes the issue, you'll probably want to have a professional take a look at it. This is assuming you are still having the same issue two months down the road.
turns out it was some LED light that stopped working. Changed the entire taillight for about $52 and it fixed the problem.
T1ger8oi that happens when ylthe bulbs about to burn out and it hyper flashes on purpose to let you know it's time to swap it out, for anyone reading this, try swapping bulbs if not try what the comments say
How long do they last??
for 4 led bulbs ( front & back) do I need 4 load resistors or only 2 ? one on each side( left & right) will fix the problem ?
2 resistors, one on each side.
Had my front LED installed with resistors and worked fine. Decided to upgrade rear lights to LED and tried installing the back LEDs with no resistors. Failed!! Hyper flashing immediately. Thus, a resistor is needed of each turning light LED installed in the
dial2fast ,
What about if the car has canbus system?
Would I need 4 resistors? For all the turn signals! Or if I put some in the back will they work for the front also?!?
As shown in the video, you need 2 resistors. One for each side. Install it either at the front or the back, up to you.
Depends on the vehicle. If you have the same vehicle that dial2fast has, then you'll probably be fine. Otherwise, you might need 4 resistors. My '02 Mazda MPV required 4, one for each indicator. Made for a pretty rough time finding safe places to mount the resistors. I wound up using some extra wire to connect my passenger side indicator to the resistor I had mounted on metal in a little compartment on the rear driver side. Totally worth it though!
Just wanted to know if you added resistors in back also. Thanks again for making these videos!
Augs G. , WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO AGAIN, GOD DAMN YOU FUCKING PEOPLE ARE SO DAMN STUPID
Ok at the end you said that you only installed one set of load resertor? So I only need one set, well two set for the whole 4 turn light signal or each light buld need to have their owe load resertor ? I have a 2022 Odyssey, not sure if the electric is the same ass your Odyssey
Thank you for your time
For most cars, you only install one load resistor for each side. Because there is only one flasher relay for each side
@@dial2fast ok thanks for the quick response, but do you have it installed in your 2019 Odyssey and how do you test it?
@@juangarcia7602 I made a video on this for the current Odyssey ua-cam.com/video/hs6lRQlxqmY/v-deo.html
@@dial2fast thabjs again for the quick answer, Did you also install led in the rear turn signal and add load resertor to then too?
Installed the LUYED 2 x 1200 Lumens Super Bright 3030 24-EX Chipsets T20 7440NA 7441 W21W WY21W Led Bulb Used for Turn-Signal Light,Amber Yellow in my 2006 Honda Odyssey and I have hyper flashing when using the turn signal. Would the same led load resistor you are recommending here work in my case? Thank you in advance for your recommendation!
Most hyperflash can be resolved with installing load resistors.
@@dial2fast what type or specification of load resistor should be installed? Thank you!
@@thesjjq They are either 6 ohm or 8 ohm resistors. Both will work.
If I put the resistors on the taillight would it be the same as if they're in the front
Christian Rodriguez yes because the current runs through both the taillights and headlamps, resistance just needs to be present at some point in the circuit, which is why he considered placing the resistors in either the front or back
just want to clarify, you said you need to install them on either the front or the back. is only 1 set going to be enough for front AND back or i need for each bulb a resistor??
One resistor for each side. So total you need is 2.
dial2fast thank you so much, if you can please post a link
All the links in description of this video.
dial2fast why do my front signals not work with the headlights on? Will that problem go away with resistors? The slight Hyper flash is no problem but the problem is they won't signal during the night when I have headlights on..
How many resistor do i need? Today i install two 7440 led turn signal on the front , it got hyper flash. I want to install two front and two rear led turn signal on my car , need to solve this problem. Thank you!
The resistors are usually sold in pairs (2). You need to install one resistor for each LED light.
Thank you very much! Helpful videos! These led turn signal are so bright at night , love it!
Hello,
Is it just enough to put the resistor on the fronts?
It's depend on car. On my 12 Escape, when I just put 2 on the front it work but when I turn on headlight it hyper flash. So, I had to put resistor on all four light to stop hyper flash when headlight was on.
Thank you.
I bought 4 pieces of good :)
Do the resistors dim the LEDs at all?
No
Do all the led lights need to be plugged before you plug in the resistors
Doesn't matter which way you do it. There will be no damage to anything. If you put the resistor in first, then intall the LED, then you won't see the hyperflash at all. Where the other way around, you will get hyperflash on the LED until you install the resistor.
dial2fast I put my front led lights in with the resistor connected, but i still experienced hyper flash. i have a 14 chevy cruze and I don't understand why it's continuing to hyperflash. i have plug and play resistors
Did you also replace the back with LEDs? If so, then it sounds as if you will need resistors all the way around to remove the hyperflash. This is what I had to do with my '02 Mazda MPV. Otherwise, you may want to check your plug and play resistors and make sure the resistors are connected to correct circuit (assuming your stock wiring plug uses three wires like mine does).
Is it possible to just install LED’s in the front only of a vehicle??
Yes you can.
Do you need the resistors for all 4 sides?
No, only one on each side
dial2fast btw how are those led holding up, did any of them died yet???
For 4 led bulb, all you need are 2 unit of resistors?
1 resistor on each side.
if only the front turn signals are replaced w/ led and incadescent bulbs remain at the back. do they flash all at the same time or theres a delay on the back? hope somebody can answer. thx
There is no delay between front and back. The flashing relay controls both front and back.
thx for the quick reply. thinking of just replacing the front turn signal
I bought these and made my car lights flicker my instrument cluster went crazy. Didn’t work unfortunately for me idk why
If I installed a rear tail /brake light load resister without front LEDs and then I installed Front turn signal LEDs and now I have hyper flash. Do I need to install load resisters in the front as well?
You won't have that issue, on most cars, the front and rear turn signal light runs off one flashing relay. So installing a load resistor on either front or rear will fix it.
Frank Tornabene , watch the video again and pay the fuck attention, and answer your own stupid question dumb ass.
no, only have to install one pair of load resistors , front or back. but must have front and back LED lights installed.
I thought you needed to install one load resistor per led bulb. I installed a pair on my rear but the front still uses the incandescent bulbs. I'll try to install the led bulbs on the front to see if they won't hyper flash.
Did they??
So if you install the resestor in the front or in the rear it's goona work for the 2 bulbs?
It depends on your vehicle. My '02 Mazda MPV requires a resistor for each bulb, otherwise I get hyperflash. My hyperflash is so bad that you can't really even tell the lights are blinking with LEDs during the day because they flash so quickly.
Emad Pola , watch the video again dumb ass, pay the fuck attention
I actually like the hyper flash.
So you don’t need both front and rear?
You only need one for each side.
There are sets of led lights on amazon $ 53.38 with resistors built in, they don’t have any issue of hyperflashing what ever u turn on right or left signal or four ways .
Well if that’s all the issue is with LEDs for turn signals then I’m not gonna waste my time with resistors, I’ll just let the hyper flashing be.. Won’t bother me or affect it’s intended use..
I think cops will stop you. When a regular bulb burns out, the hyper flash happens. It's like a signal to check your lights so that's why cops stop people when they see the fast flashing
You were lucky to have to install the resistors only in front, i got the same vehicles 07 odyssey touring but i need to install the resistors in the rear too because the hyper flash
Rafael Torres , you must have purchased cheap LED bulbs. probably made by the stupid fucking Democrates
Is hyper flashing bad ? I think it wil attract more attention of the cars behind so that they wont hit your cars butt. I think hyper flashing makes more sense unless its illegal
Hyperflash is not bad but it's actually a feature put into the flasher relay to tell driver's your bulb is burnt and needs replacing. Also the flashing is too fast to be really used as proper turn signal.
看看
Based on my research. It's seems like with newer vehicles like 2014 corolla or 2018 GMC. There is NO hyperflashing
You wouldn't happen to know where I could get resistors that fit the front turn signals for a 2012 Honda Odyssey? I have 7440 bulbs in the back but in the front they are a different size. So frusturating. I bought hyper flash free bulbs for the back but can't find any for the front so I guess I'll have to go with a regular led with resistors. Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks for the videos! I'm a new subscriber.
According to my search, your front uses 3457 bulb for front turn. I found the load resistor for the 3457. Note: I am just providing help but can't guarantee if this is what you need. Here is the load resistor amzn.to/3g7PHW6
@@dial2fast ya I wonder why they didn't stay with the same style of bulb for the front and back. I looked and looked and finally found one for the front www.vleds.com/shop-application/turn-signals-front/3157/3157-ck.html
But they are so expensive so I took on the challenge of installing resistors directly to the ground and signal wire ($40 for the resistors and bulb) After a few swears and hairs pulled out, I got them installed lol. What made it so difficult was there was literally no slack in the line to be able to pull the wiring out enough to connect those red plastic connectors.
Hopefully this helps anyone else looking to do the same.
Thanks for the videos! I like upgrading things on my van on my own and your videos inspire!
Thank you for trying to help! I appreciate it!
Is hyper flashing a "bad thing"?
D.P.T that's what i was thinking
So with the resistors, will the turn signals work when your headlights are on? I'm using the LED ambers up front and they only flash when headlights are off, when headlights are on, the rear signals still work but front ones just stay on. The hyper flash doesn't bother me but not signaling does
576575s When you say headlights...do you mean the parking/running lights?
FYI: I have LED's all the way around...high & low beams, turn signals/parking lights up front (switchback bulb), front side marker (canbus), fog lights, rear brake/parking/turn bulbs & back up bulbs (canbus). The fogs, side markers & back ups do NOT have resistors installed....ALL the rest do. Everything works perfect the way I have it set up. My best suggestion....Be sure to mount the resistors on metal & away from ANYTHING! The resistors become extremely hot very quickly! I simply took my time and installed everything as "clean" as possible. BEFORE installing resistors...check to see if your car have a flasher relay that is able to be replaced. If so, this will eliminate any need for resistior! My vehicle (2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee) simply does NOT have the ability to replace the flasher relay. I hope this helps! :). Good luck!
Nate WYA lol
D.P.T. I installed front ones without and the bulb got very hot when it flashed fast
Where do you get that kit premade female to male on the original plug?
No offence but: Hyper flashing makes the driver behind you to pay more attention and some times in Alarm mode can save you from a crash because the drivers that follow can understand quicker that something is wrong in front of them.
The only bad thing about hyper flashing is the noise when you are inside especially steady with alarms on.
No offense taken, but do note hyperflash is actually a feature built into the flashing relay to notify the driver you have a burnt bulb and you should fix it. That might catch the attention of a police to give a fix it ticket.
@@dial2fast : Oh,from this point of view yes but i wrote my comment based in the situation here where the police never gives you a tickets for this reason,they will only ask you for what reason this happens or some times will not ask at all.
Is a led turn signal with a 50w resistor more efficient than a regular turn signal bulb? Does anybody know??

Only 2 pcs you install in car ?
Yes
@@dial2fast is resistor become hot if bulb is on?
@@laurencebaldivino8134 Yes it's hot when lights on.

Couldn’t you install this to the switch in the steering column?
It's Dj Dozer , not unless you want to burn your car to the ground, some get to around 300 degrees
why don't use 25w load resistor?
Does anyone else actually prefer the hyperflashing like myself
I got confused for a second when I saw the Japanese license plate
It’s easier to buy canbus friendly lights.
Glenn Edward i bought the canbus but still hyper flashing
So you just need is just 1 pair of Resistors
Yes
Ok cool
You could have just wired the load resistor into the Honda wiring without an adapter
This is the solution I am looking for. Do you have the wiring chart on how the resistor should be wired?
load resistors are mounted between the positive and the ground wires in the circuit being addressed (left and right flashing circuits, here).
Simply put, the entire reason for the resistor is because the factory "flasher" unit depends on a certain amp draw to perform its function properly, at the correct rate (not too fast). It is the same reason that one can spot a vehicle with a regular flashing incandescent light bulb burnt out ( or bad circuit) , because the flasher unit isn't switching a "normal" amperage load of a circuit with (normally 2 or 4) working bulbs.
For example, without specific design details, do not place the resistor in anything other than a "on" then "off" circuit, as the heat loaded into the resistor with absolutely fry it, (and anything the resistor touches).
On my F150 the brake light and the turn signals are on the same circuit. So,should I be concerned about this?? I purchased the truck used and the LED fixture was installed. The right side started blinking rapidly. I think the resister failed. The resistor was just hanging by the wires. I plan on mounting it on a metal panel away from the wires. I'm hoping this would put more distance from the wiring and offer more of a "heat sink" . Should I run the lights and do a temp check? How hot should I allow it before I get concerned?
what a pain in the ass, not worth the modification
no pain no gain its worth it.
I agree, GMan
What’s the point of this?
