Credits: 8,344 ![]() | LED Tailights So I finally got my Smoked LED Tail Lights from Modern Performance installed along with their 3rd Brake Light LED Kit. The only thing I don`t like is that my signals blink like 4 times a second now. Does anyone know what type of resistor I need to install to fix this issue? If so, where do I get one and where do I wire it into the lights at? Any info would be a big help. Here are a few pics. They are kind of shitty but it was getting dark. ![]() ![]()

However it does sound like a resistance issue and if thats the case you should be able to get one from radioshack and then splice it inline right at the plug

Credits: 9,513 ![]() | blinker on crack huh? I have never heard that before, I just always called it Hyper-flash. you can find out the resistor info on superbrightled.com I will be doin a DIY on my LED tails, however, the DIY for the skyline style tails, you have to talk to eurobalt, he may be nice enough to tell you how, but I cant because it wasnt an original idea from me. just the LED Tails, that Im gonna make are. |
