If you're an enthusiast of modifications, you might know that installing aftermarket LED bulbs can sometimes result in hyper flash or even dashboard error messages. This issue is more common with aftermarket turn signals, tail lights, and brake lights.
The problem arises because aftermarket LED bulbs have lower power consumption compared to the original halogen bulbs. When the flasher relay detects a difference in resistance due to the different power consumption, it might mistakenly think the bulb is burned out and alert the driver through hyper flashing.
👉Lasfit has collected feedback from users who have faced hyper flash, and here are some solutions they have used:
1. Completely abandon aftermarket LED bulbs and switch back to OEM halogen.
2. Use load resistors to prevent hyper flash.
3. Choose bulbs with a built-in decoder or opt for higher power bulbs when purchasing.
Have you tried any of the methods mentioned above, or do you have other tips to share?🤔 Join the conversation and help fellow enthusiasts find the best solutions!

Replace bi-metalic (thermal based) flasher unit with digital unit (works on time vs load) is the ticket and there is No need for load resistors. Look in my build thread for programmable one-tap. i.e. tap the stalk and get 1 to 20 flashes (I set it to 4) for lane change.

@Alternet Here it is in my F-Sport Buid Thread at post #55 - Smart Tap... the dang things have nearly trippled in price since I bought this one. I fully recommend this or one like it if they exist. Some of the higher end Yodas have them from the factory the one tap 3 flash feature that is.
