Tail light running lights


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone, I just put in some new LED tail lights for my '05. But now I'm having a few problems.

 

1. No running lights.

 

2. Hyperflashing.

 

Don't have a clue why my running lights aren't working now, they were fine with my old stock tail lights.

 

Now I know the hyperflashing is usually just the flasher relay but if anyone else has LED tails and needed something else to fix them, please lemme know. :P

 

 

Will put a video soon.... Thanks everybody!

It is not a flasher relay problem, it is the usage of the LED bulb in this application, you need to purchase an "inline voltage stabilizer". The LED bulbs do not pull enough wattage, so the vehicle sometimes reads there is no bulb, or a blown bulb.

Wouldn't a flasher relay built for LEDs do the same thing as both act like resistors? Where would I find an inline stabilizer and what would I need in my case?

You are correct sir, could not find the link for the inline stabilizer:

I am not sure how this would be installed.

Actually I think I found an answer to my problem.

Looks like I just have to cut and desolder the pin that reads the outputting power.

 

 

 

Butttttt, still doesn't solve my DRL problem.... Hmmm
