How to Prevent Hyper Flash on Your Turn Signals | Lasfit Small Talk

[LASFIT]

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!

Getting a flash relay designed for LED lights is also a solution but may be considered to fall under point number 2 since it does the same thing.
