the part i received looked like in this post

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-...l#post10448640

but i have since also received a newer version that has the resistors in cases and the wire protected
these are both plug n play. in the back theres only really one close area to mount resistors. the relay for led is the way to go

Default Resistor Value for LED Turn Signal

I was wondering if any know what resistor value works best with the GX460 to prevent the "hyperblink" with after market LED turn signal in the metal bumpers. Also, would it be st wiring it in series or parallel. Thanks.

You will need 50 Om resister wired in parallel with LED in order to prevent hyper flash.

I happen to have 100 ohm resistor available and tested in parallel and it did not do anything. I guess it was to high of impedance. I also tried to measure the DC value of the input resistance of the LED light and was not able to.

tessie tha@hzhao check my ownership log, has links to the bulbs off Amazon.

I noticed the tail lights say 8 minutes

"There is a protection IC inside, so each turn signal cycle cannot exceed 8 minutes"

Does this mean they go into Hyperflash?


Amazon Amazon

I was looking at these rear bulbs GXBOB posted about but also saw someone comment about another brand that went to Hyperflash after 5 minutes. No reports yet if these do as well.

Amazon Amazon



EDIT: Reading through comments on Amazon I do see bulbs used by GXBOB in that video do Hyperflash after 5-10 minutes

both bulbs contained reviews stating that they'll eventually hyper flash after a certain amount of minutes or if its hot outside. im starting to understand why car manufacturers haven't switched over to led bulbs - $5 vs $80.

I’d like to add that Auxito makes good LEDs. I’ve got a set of low beams and a set of high beams in my 460 and they work great. I prefer Alla on other bulbs but Auxito is a strong second.

Installed the Auxito turn signals in my 2011 yesterday. They work perfectly but they are BRIGHT. Hopefully they aren't too bad for other drivers, otherwise I may need to put the standard bulbs back in.

Activate your signals and night and stand back 20 feet from the car. You'll probably end up seeing spots.
