Default Running LED turn signals for front and back

I couldn't find any info on this thread so anyway, right now I have rear LED turn signals, so now I want to add front LED turn signals but this new item claims it does not need resistors, will it work ?


Edited: So I just checked the manufacturers site on the LED that I have right now, it states:
  • ONLY good for front or rear AO (Amber-Off-Amber-Off) type turn signal light use (Can't be used for both front and rear together)
  • Warning: Replace EITHER the front or the rear turn signal bulbs, but you can't replace both, otherwise you will still get hyper flash; You CAN'T use it for constant light up such as driving lights, daytime running lights; Even though these LED replacement bulbs will not hyper flash on turn signal lights, but they are still NOT "Error Free" for European cars; There is a protection IC inside, so each turn signal cycle cannot exceed 8 minutes

Is there another way around it>?

I think you need to buy led bulbs with CAN system, which are resistors into voltage line and shoudnt throw any error.

you just need to install a flasher relay. It’s plug and play and it’ll fix the hyper flash for all front and rear bulbs. I did it on my car.

Is it just plug and play? How/where do I install it? and do I add anything else after?

Flasher relay is plug and play. To find it simply activate the turn signals and identify the clicking box. It's the flasher relay. It can be found on the driver side, in the dash. You can reach in under the dash to replace. This is probably the easiest way to get rid of led hyper flash and is totally reversible.

I replaced all of my turn signals with LEDs 2 yrs ago. Purchased from E-bay with no hyper flash and no canbus needed. Sorry I don’t have the original link for the seller.. I’ll search when I get home.
