Ok so today my led tails came in the mail and they look great but one little flaw the turn signal dose the "light out" fast blink. How can I fix this I was think a resistor. Would one of these work? http://www.radioshack.com/search/ind...=resistor&sr=1
Im not sure How many ohm's or whatever i should use

 

most people just replace the turn signal flasher, usually can find them on ebay

 

Like I dont know how much resistence a factory bulb has. any know?

Will my tail lights still work turn signal and all? and what would i type in to get this on ebay?

That's it that's all!

 

subd for anwser on flasher i have same problem and am to lazy to install a resistor

 

Look at the headlight and tail light thread, and buy the resistors under the switchbacks. They will work perfectly.

 

I get the feeling we don't have a flasher in our cars, it's computer controlled. Hence the signal clicking sound coming from your BCM through the driver's side speaker.

 

Yeah But it works fine with factory buld and no lights are out^^^ so it must have one

 

I bought a ket off Ebay from K2 motors about a month ago. Had the same problem. There is no fix other than putting in resistors. Too lazy to put them in? It takes 5 minuites. You don't even need to cut anything. Here what i got and it worked perfect. It comes with scotch locks so it just taps into you're harness. No cutting. Like i said took all of 5 min to install. No more fast blinker problem.

No, there is no flasher in our cars. They are computer controlled. That's why you need the resistors. A new flasher may work on other cars, but not on this. The reason they flash fast is that LEDs, even a bunch of them, draw less power than the factory bulbs do, and it makes the BCM think the bulb is burned out, and flashed it fast to tell you the bulb is burned out, even though the bulb is clearly there. It is reading current readings.



^^^ that's exactly what you need and what I linked to in the headlight and tail light thread.

 

Has anyone tryed these? how good do they work? and is 25 watts good for a cobalt?

so this is the right one for my bolt i suppose. and they still work good for your car? how long have you had these?

 

It works fine, I know because I bought them ages ago. I think people aren't listening to me because I have 100 posts but I assure you I've been here for a while and know what I'm talking about.

 

Yup it's what you need. Like it says it pulls the same resistance as a 2 filiment bulb. If you don't get the right resistance it won't work and these worked great. I've had them on my car for about a month

 

subbed for good resistors. been too lazy to buy them until now =)

 

Snake get those ones from v leds. It comes with everything you need including scotch locks to tap into you're harness and they are anodized gold. Bling haha. I actually have a spare kit because i thought when you order 1 it was one resistor but it's actually 1 kit lol

 

I've had the set from V-LEDs installed for my front signals for ages and they work perfect. My LED tails actually came with a resistor system built in so I didn't have to worry about the back, but I guess not all tail light manufacturers think ahead.

 

Yeah i suppose not. oh well ordered resistors just now 12 bucks not to bad

 

Way ahead of you man. The second you posted them up I ordered them

 

Haha good stuff
