I just put the k2 led taillights in my car. Now are the supposed to flash like you have a light bulb out when you use the turn signal or is it just me. It annoys the crap out of me lol

 

They are wired wrong, flip them around in some manner (the wiring harness or the lights themselves) guaranteed they will work proper.

 

Huh?

You need load resisters. We sell them on our website or PM me

 

do they have built in resistors? LED swaps will need a resistor to stop the hyper flash youre describing.

 

well if i flip the plug around the lights don't light up then. There has to be a way to fix this, its so annoying i wanna pull them out ad sell them already annoying and just rock original no tinted taillights

 

My LED depot lights on my CIVIC were not keyed, meaning the light harness could be flipped 180 degrees either in the right or wrong orientation. Also the harness for the signals, breaks and running were all the same. Took a big of fiddling and having them plugged in correctly and I resolved the flickering.

I honestly cant imagine LED tails without built in resistors, thats ghetto as hell.

 

lol they were only 130 bucks thats why hahahaha

 

That's why I don't have them

 

Well no one else makes these lights, but now i wish they'd make side markers to match and a 3rd brake light

 

Welcome to car world. This is not honda lol 99% of LED tails need resisters. ALL of them made for cobalts do.

 

Resistors fix this. Just installed mine last month. Can get them Anywhere online

 

Yup just tap in some 6 ohm load resistors and it will fix your hyper flash. Here's where I got mine. $7 for a pair.

6 OHM 50W 2 BULB LOAD EQUALIZER RESISTORS LED TURN SIGNAL BLINKER FIX | 1 PAIR

 

cool. thanks. I don't have to do any wiring do it just use those climp things

 

you'd think k2motors woulda figured this out and tested their products beforehand...

 

k2 didn't develop them they just sell them. Rarely do aftermarket lighting products get any real testing and refinement phase beyond "does this work?"

 

Yeah I know or any led company and also make sidemarkers and 3rd brake lights to match, cuz I'd love to but those also. Only other thing i don't like is the two middle lights feel like they barley stay in since these new lights don't got the threads to put them little screws back on to hold the light in

 

Yup they just crimp on. No splicing needed

 

buyhids sells led 3rd brakes that look good, i'ma get one one day

 

yeah i know they sale that but it's not the same lens color and that as the taillights. like I wish the lens colors would all match then it would look 110% clean

 

You do know i made a how-to on how to install THESE EXACT tailights right... look!

 

Yeah somewhere I saw them. lol

 

tells you the nut fix for the trunk lights :P

 

Really. I'll have to search or try and find it.
