F150 LED Hyper Flash Fix with FORScan

  • I installed these Auxito 3157 bulbs and they are much brighter and make the truck look much newer! I install and test these and then have to fix the hyper flash issue since the bulbs take so little current. I walk through the install, comparison, and then use FORScan to fix the hyper flash issue.
    This should work for 2015 to 2020 F150s.

    Do you have an issue with when the brake lights are on with these LED bulbs and you hit the turn signal that the turn signal is barely visible?

    • @SmackeysGarage
      @SmackeysGarage  4 місяці тому

      I did not have any issue with that. Do you have the same bulbs?

    Noticed a setting for LED Turn Outage while watching your video, should try enabling it.

      I’m going to give it a shot when I get a chance.

    Thank you for the video, it's very helpful! Have you found that you needed to install resistors since this video has been posted?

    • @SmackeysGarage
      @SmackeysGarage  5 місяців тому

      Glad you found it helpful! I ran them this way for a few months and didn’t need resistors. I recently switched them over to Morimoto tail lights and still no issue.

    Thanks for the video.
    I just ordered a cable and downloaded the FORScan app earlier today. Waiting till I get the cable to try a few option changes.
    I see from a screenshot at 6:30 that there is an option for "Rear LED Turn Outage" and that it is disabled. If you were to enable that option, do you think the system would notify you?
    Just wondering.

    • @SmackeysGarage

      You are welcome! If the LED bulbs are a similar resistance or current as the OEM ones, I could see it working. I haven't tried it though. For LEDs, they don't really go bad as long as you have a quality set. They should last for decades under normal use.

    Do you know if this applies to aftermarket led full tail light replacements as well?

    • @SmackeysGarage
      @SmackeysGarage  2 місяці тому

      Yes it should since it’s just looking for a current draw I believe.

    You need to go with Lasfit LED bulbs they have a built in resistor and they don’t hyper flash.

    I swapped out my stock mirrors on my 2013 F150 Lariat and the signals on the actual mirrors to front and rear sequential LED's . Now I am getting the hyper flash. Do you think this will fix the problem? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    • @SmackeysGarage
      @SmackeysGarage  14 днів тому

      It’s hard to tell if you’ll need to add a resistor or this will work. It’s unfortunately not straightforward. The hyper flash is supposed to let you know a bulb is out and you can disable that on the front and rear lights. Not sure about how the mirror integrates.

      @@SmackeysGarage thanks for your input, I am going to try the Forscan first then go from there. I'll let you know.

      @kinseya7217 ok. Looking forward to the answer. Will probably help a lot of people!

    I disabled the 'Rear bulb turn outage ' and it keeps blinking fast :( I write and turn cycle off the key off and on, but it doesn't work. It still flashes fast

    • @SmackeysGarage
      @SmackeysGarage  3 місяці тому +1

      is it by side? Maybe try turning the corresponding one in the front off to see if it helps. What year is your truck?

    How do i get the extended license for forscan? I’m having the same issue on my 2017 explorer.

      Use this link on (on the FORScan site). forscan.org/support/prepare_trial_el_request.php?lang=en

    What is the name of the application u r using?

    • @SmackeysGarage
      @SmackeysGarage  9 місяців тому +2

      FORScan. It is free and linked in the video description. You need the OBDLinkEX also linked in the description to use it.

    Gen 12 you need to add an inline resistors. I got them off amazon

    • @SmackeysGarage
      @SmackeysGarage  6 місяців тому +1

      Good note. Did you try disabling the bulb outage notification and still needed the resistor?

      That's interesting and a good note for people. On that truck you might be stuck using a load resistor as well.

      I plan on getting bulbs with a built in resistors. no changing anything in forscan needed.
