Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I haven't found a definitive answer yet. Are CAN BUS LED's suitable for turn signal applications? I am not a big fan of the switchbacks (one of few I'm sure) and just want straight up amber 3157 bulbs in the front, and red 3157 bulbs in the back. Do I still need a resistor or flasher if I use the CAN BUS bulbs?

 

Pretty sure canbus is just for cars that detect burnt out bulbs. You can use any led in cobalt lights providing it's the proper socket obviously.

 

You don't need to buy CB's just to have a solid color, there are regular LED bulbs that are solid amber/red/white/etc, you just need the right bulb type. I've outfitted my exterior lighting with bulbs from VLED's. SuperBrightLED's is good too.

If you can replace your flasher unit that's the easier route, at least it was for me. Or you can use load resistors. Otherwise you will have hyperblink.

 

Reviving an old thread how and what do u need to change the flasher unit?

 

Is Hyperblink really all that bad?? lol

 

I've gotten used to it now been to lazy to try a mod to see if it stops

 

Same here.

At first I hated it and it annoyed the hell out of me.

Now normal blinkers I find to be way too slow, and the annoy me even more!!

Maybe I need some anger management. lol.

 

Lol ahaha ur lucky mine hyperflash only when the headlights are on. When there off it goes normal but when I break my front runners come on weird right?
