My 82, I've kept it in the garage all these years, has only 49k miles, and still, every time I go to fix something, the part next to it breaks. But, it is just fun fixing and updating her. Great video. Will look you up and sub. I hope you are still making videos.
I love the video. Everything was very well explained. Cant wait to get mine in the mail and install them. Thank you for all your info and making it easy on us that do not know.
Ya when dealing with older vehicles most won't require it you could just do the Flashers or just the resistors but the Flashers are definitely an easier upgrade but as you get into newer vehicles where they may not use load Flashers the resistors are definitely the easier route to go all depending on the vehicle.
Great video. I installed the same LED flasher and the signal brake light work, but for some reason, the parking lights stopped working. Any ideas of what it could be?
I added 2 LED flashers in my 86. Installed LED front signals from SuperBrightLEDs. Now when I install the led rear turn signals, there is no flashing. When I place incandescent back in, it flashes fine. 🤷♂️
Ive replaced all lights with Led bulbs in my gauge lights now they barley glow or light up any. Now i did replace brake,reverse,license plate light all with high powered LEDS. Now the blinkers and reverse doesnt work as should when it worked just fine before. Could the Flashers help with the gauge light as well???? 1984 Trans Am
The other one is usually mounted up above the other may have to move some things to see it. You should see a panel that moves that it mounts to possibly
The blinkers might blink a little faster, but having incandescent on the same circuit should keep them working. It won’t harm anything to try it and see how it works. There are also resistors you can add to LED’s to load the flasher and keep it working normally if needed instead of an LED flasher.
@@JimmyMakingitwork very true great point. Incandescent bulbs have more of a strobe affect due to the bulb cooling down then heating up where the LED bulb is instant on and off. 👍👍👍
So I have the same flashers from screaming chicken and looks like the same led bulbs but for the front park lights and signal and I can't them to work properly far as blinking is it because I haven't installed the rear lights with leds
Ok..thanks I'm watching your other video now about the bulbs.so I'm just put that part on pause till I get the rear led bulbs.i have both flashers and I still need to install front headlight bulbs
I bought the vented switch back turn signals from starbuck and they turn on but no flashing !!! Do I need the reverse plate ? I put flasher on both spots but looks like someone been requiring
@@TonyTheTechnician Well at least the fuses and computer components are NOT in the engine bay! That has been the stupidest thing I have seen. Everyone knows computers hate heat, and fuses, condensation, but where did they put those...?! Anyway, love my Camaro, and I don't mind the fuse box where it is so long as I can find where to put things. LOL But, it does give you a workout! Thanks Tony for the help as always!:)
OK buddy, I'm not changing over to LED... it's just a lot to do for me, and I just want to find where the flasher module is located so I can change the flasher and put in a new one. Mine is very old and blinking very slowly now. My car is a sports coup, so I can't always follow the Z models to fix things. Does my car need 2 flashers replaced too? I was only given one when I went in for the parts. No computer in my car!LOL lucky me, the 85 coup did not have one. Cheers and thank you as always!
They have 3 Flashers but one is tucked up further in the dash and is for the 4 way Flashers so I'm sure that one is fine. You should find it under the dash between the steering column and the center console area. Hope this helps
Ya a majority of the time they look the exact same depends on if they have been swapped before. I don't think you need to worry about the top one. I would just start with the main flasher. Keep in mind yours might be like a black plastic or a silver metal one right now
Hey Tony I Did the Exact same lights and flashers as you did and i am having a problem with the front blinkers not blinking when the car is running with the light switch on.. But the rear ones are working....The fronts work with car running and the light switch off...Talked to Lasfit and they said it may be the turn signal relay? Any Ideas...thanks
@@TonyTheTechnician the funny thing is i found a LED bulb i had 5 years ago and tried it and had no problems worked fine...would it be the relay like the technician said from Lasfit ?
Is the hazard flasher necessary as well for the turn signals to work? I just installed this exact part with the ground wire and everything and it doesn't work. I tried both polarities
@@TonyTheTechnician I now have both the turn signal and the hazard flashers replaced with the ones in the video. All of my lights flash except for one, the back right. I'm going to switch it with the left bulb to see if its the bulb causing the issue or not.
My car is a pain to do! I have to get the LCM out because the flasher is in the LCM, de-pin 2 wires in the flasher, hook everything up, install and reinstall. Ugh! Yep, I have not done it yet. :-p _The main thing is, finding LEDs that do not overheat, because even with the relay if they overheat in about 5 minutes, less in hot weather, they will hyperflash, anyway._ That is no good for the hazard lights. If actually needed, the time used is (probably) always over 5 minutes.
Hello again Tony Thank you for another Great Video. Is this available for all vehicles? I have a 2001 Nissan Frontier pickup that was my inheritance from my Father. The headlights barely let you see anything. I would like to change it out. The part issues has stopped me thus far. I can't seem to find good information. Even the dealership has not been a lot of help. Again thank you
If you are just upgrading the headlights then you Most likely won't have to make any changes other than finding the correct bulb type and getting the LED version of it 👍
Hey tony, I installed these same flashers, and I have something odd, so the front turning lamps I have the led that are white but when you turn on the turn signal they flash amber, so the right passenger turning lamp does exactly what I want it to it runs white and flashes in amber however the drivers side stays amber and flashes amber. Any ideas? And I switch the led lights because I was thinking maybe it’s the led light itself but it does the same on both led lights, the driver side stays amber, any ideas as to why?
Hmm that is awkward I was going to say the bulb but you said you have already tried switching. I would check the wiring on the one side. Most common issue is the ground wire
I did this years ago when i was stationed in Delaware amd when i saw the light wasnt flashing i wentto using ha.d signals for turns. I got pulled over by a dsp trooper who must have had 5 min on the job because hed never heard of hand signals or so he said. Then another trooper showed who must have been past puberty because he asked Dudly what was going on, got a "the fuck?" Look on his face, handed me back my DL reg and insurance and told me to have a nice day
I just bought my very first car from when i was 16 back from the guy i sold it to before i left for the military. It popped up on FB market because apparently his kid didn't want it. And side note, id have done unspeakable evils for a car like that to he given to me, fucking hell. Anyway looks like the dude i sold it to fancied himself an electrician and created an automotive wiring modern art sculpture that ove been trying unsuccessfully to unfuck all summer. So i just ordered a 22 circuit universal wiring kit. And just for the sake of my sanity, how the hell can people invest so much time and care into the paint work or their car, keeping the interior immaculately clean etc... but when they tryi wiring its "twist it, tape it, and never fucking look at it again! I know its only 12 volts but it can absolutely burn your baby to the ground. On rant over
Absolutely agreed. That's crazy his kid didn't want it. And ya I know what you mean it's like people will put together wires anyway possible and not have a care in the world. No connectors no color matching, routing wires wherever. It becomes a nightmare.

Very nice and ya I know what you mean haha. I do indeed still make videos. I'll be releasing a couple more camaro videos probably next month
Im doing this to an 89 trans am. this is the most informative video I have found. thank you
Thank you I appreciate it and glad you found it helpful.
I love the video. Everything was very well explained. Cant wait to get mine in the mail and install them. Thank you for all your info and making it easy on us that do not know.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed
Excellent Video including Part Numbers and potential problems that may be encountered, well explained 👏
Thank you I appreciate and glad you enjoyed.
Adding a resistor helps also, 6 ohm / 50 watt I think is correct for most cars to simulate a bulbs resistance and load the flasher correctly.
Ya when dealing with older vehicles most won't require it you could just do the Flashers or just the resistors but the Flashers are definitely an easier upgrade but as you get into newer vehicles where they may not use load Flashers the resistors are definitely the easier route to go all depending on the vehicle.
Thanks for putting the video up. I am doing the same to my 1992.
Thanks for watching 👍
thanks for this informative video. I'm doing the same thing to my 1986 Camaro iroc z. I want to make it stand out a little more.
Very nice. Thanks for watching
I have a 87 Cadillac all original so I won't need the ground wire or the extra piece for polarity correct?
Great video. I installed the same LED flasher and the signal brake light work, but for some reason, the parking lights stopped working. Any ideas of what it could be?
I added 2 LED flashers in my 86. Installed LED front signals from SuperBrightLEDs. Now when I install the led rear turn signals, there is no flashing. When I place incandescent back in, it flashes fine. 🤷♂️
If you have already done both Flashers then you may want to start looking at the wiring. I.e. grounds
If the flasher wire is connected to the wrong wire will it also stay lit? I changed the flasher moduel both and also they are grounded
You may want to check your wiring for the lights, make sure it has no shorts or faulty grounds or corrosion
Ive replaced all lights with Led bulbs in my gauge lights now they barley glow or light up any. Now i did replace brake,reverse,license plate light all with high powered LEDS. Now the blinkers and reverse doesnt work as should when it worked just fine before. Could the Flashers help with the gauge light as well???? 1984 Trans Am
Now that I’ve updated to LED’s my signal lights on my dash are glowing when the lights are on? Any ideas?
Are there always two?
I can only see the first one
There isn’t another one hanging down or anywhere visible
The other one is usually mounted up above the other may have to move some things to see it. You should see a panel that moves that it mounts to possibly
I want to run LED up front and incandescent in the rear. What flasher would I need for that?
This one would work. Just when you go to order them make sure it says it works with both incandescent and led bulbs
The blinkers might blink a little faster, but having incandescent on the same circuit should keep them working. It won’t harm anything to try it and see how it works.
There are also resistors you can add to LED’s to load the flasher and keep it working normally if needed instead of an LED flasher.

Doing the same to my 89. I only bought one flasher so I'm curious to see the video.
So I have the same flashers from screaming chicken and looks like the same led bulbs but for the front park lights and signal and I can't them to work properly far as blinking is it because I haven't installed the rear lights with leds
Yes most likely it is picking up the rear bulbs missing or you may want to check your grounds on the front bulb wiring
Ok..thanks I'm watching your other video now about the bulbs.so I'm just put that part on pause till I get the rear led bulbs.i have both flashers and I still need to install front headlight bulbs

can I used these n an 88 Monte Carlo? I seen some on an gbody website with a part number ef-32rl that our cheaper any info will help
Great video. That was a dumb place for GM to mount those. I guess you are used to that kind of thing by now! Can't wait to see it run.
Haha ya engineers love putting things in stupid places 🤣👍

Any recommendations for doing this exact same thing for a 4th Gen. F-Body?

The third gens don't have a turn signal relay just the Flashers.
are they both flasher relay or are the one on the cable the hazard one?
Yes one is for the turn signals and one is for the 4 way Flashers
Is the hazard flasher necessary as well for the turn signals to work? I just installed this exact part with the ground wire and everything and it doesn't work. I tried both polarities
Yes sometimes both are necessary but before doing that if I were you I would check all the ground wires for your lights. It's a common issue

@@GlassSandwichTV I'm glad you are figuring it out. If it's still the same light then check the ground.

I use chemical guys headlight restore to clean up foggy lights. You can get many different headlight restore kits at Walmart that would really help 👍
I don't have the one that hangs down
Nvm, mine was mounted to a bracket just above the wiring
