Exclamation Hyper flash fix

Hello all,

Recently I replaced my passenger side headlight on my 08' 3GS. (My previous set had condensation building up) I replaced it with a OEM 2010 GS headlight replacement. after the installment everything was working properly how it should but now I've noticed when I go to signal that my right turning signal has Hyper flash & my left turning signal is still functioning normally.



Clueless to how this happened I would like some insight on how I could fix this? Or if something wasn't installed correctly. Tried searching on this topic but couldn't find much. Some help would be great. Thank you!

sounds like you have a burned light or something is un-plugged. When you get a hyper flash usually means youre missing a resistor, light bulbs are those resistors in the circuit. Also if you have used aftermarket led lights it does the same, because led lights draw less resistance to the circuit.

Cool! Thanks for the pointers. Now that you mentioned I did just check my turning signal bulb on my passenger headlight & it seems to be burnt out. Could this also be causing the Hyper Flashing?

If so I'll try to replace that bulb and see if that takes care of it! as far as connections looks like all the correct harness and everything are connected. all my bulbs on headlights are all original also not LED's.
