So, I finally got tired of hunting for the damn signal flasher on my Lightning. Could hear it, but was never able to see it or feel it. I'm told they are in a very unfriendly location. So, I went to Advance Auto and picked up four LED Load Equalizers. You have to put one on any light that you installed a LED. Prior to installing them, the signals just came on solid, no blink at all. I did the rears first, and after that, they hyper-flashed. I was hoping one set would be enough. No such luck. Did the fronts the next day, and they work normally now.
Takes about 15 minutes per quarter, if there is metal in the area the lights are mounted. Unfortunately, the head light and tail light housings are plastic. So I had to extend the wires and remote mount the equalizers. They have to be mounted on metal for heat dissipation. The instructions say they will get to around 149 degrees on a 25 degree day. So I assume they will get hotter if it's hotter outside.
Anyhow, I activated them and let them blink about the same amount of time as they would if stuck at a power nap inducing traffic light. Barely got hot at all. So it's all good.
They're made by Sylvania and can be used for any LED application where things don't function properly. For instance, I tried putting LEDs in the back up lights when I did the tail lights. They would not illuminate. So I am going to try another pair with another set of lad equalizers, see if I can get those to work as well. LED's are so much brighter and better looking than incandescents.
