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.

Do you have the power ratings of the LED tails? You would need to know what voltage and amperage the LEDs are running at to be able to figure out how to correct the issue. 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

Here is a link to what you need. I bought mine through them and they work great. Remember they get really hot so you want to keep them away from things that will melt. Blinker/Warning Fix - Turn Signal Fix Also here is picture of mine wired up but it isn't the best.



Let me know if you have anymore questions.

The whole LED Ring will blink, unless he has done the skyline style conversion, then he can put the blinkers as a seperate bulb. But as far as I know only eurobalt, has the skyline style tails, and I am currently figuring out a setup, to do it to mine.

Okay thanks cause I'm thinking of getting a set of these, as soon as I'm done with my body kit, I still need to paint it for when the snow goes away lol

All led tail lights will cause blinker on crack syndrome unless you put a resistor on it.

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.
