Exclamation Need Some Help With Turn Signals

So on sunday i ordered $65.00 worth of Leds for the interior and turn signals. Everything turned out great but i have a slight problem. When i turn the hazard lights on everything is normal, but when i use one side it blinks super fast. I no that one option is installing a load resistor but i dont want to cut wires. anyone know of another road that i can take. any remedies are welcome. Thanks.

search, there is a topic on this one and it depends on the year of the vehicle to take advantage of the relay. I have the relay put in and the alarm -arming confirmation is lost but you still get the sound (some electrical guy can fix this to fix the non blinking confirmation). There is also the lighting section where it's talked about also.

mine is an 01

Yea the LEDs take much less juice to run, so you car is not registering them and thinks the bulbs are out. That is why they blink like crazy.

you'll need a load resistor for LED turn signals. they add resistance to the wiring to/from the turn signals to fool the car into thinking you have halogens.

scroll down to the load resistor kit: here

jspec, that defeats the purpose (other than looks) of running the LEDS.

search for hyperflash. There was a big write up in a thread i took part of last year.
