Morimoto Tail Lights on Factory LED Truck

[thrasher2010]

Thank you all for the help. I have tried 3 ohm resistors,  1 ohm resistors and .5 ohm resistors with no luck. The only change when adding these were reduced brightness in the hyperflashing blinkers.  I am out of options and am probably going to end up selling the morimotos and getting some recon tail lights painted to get the look I want.  Again, thank you all for the suggestions .

If your looking to sell the morimotos, how much are you wanting?

Don’t forget the option to flash the BCM to disable the bulb out indicator. 

 

Ill be having it done pretty soon.

So if you have this done, you can run LED's without the hyperflash?  Does it screw up if you have regular incandescent bulbs in?

I'm taking my truck in Friday for service and I've thought about having this done, just wasn't sure what all it entailed.

If you don't mind, what's the dealer charging you to do this?

[rah7777777]

Dealer I bought the truck from said $175. 

 

It disables the bulb out warning system (which is hyperflash). So the BCM no longer looks for a specific load on the circuit. So afterwards you could run whatever you want. 

 

Call and ask them what theyll charge you. I’m curious. I’ve read $50 online before. I’d like that price better.

When I get a chance to call and talk to him at the dealership I'll let you know what he quotes me.  I think their hourly is $120, he cut that in half for me once in my 2014 when I was trying to add carplay because he was curious to see if what I was doing would work too.

Hell, I’m good for an hours labor haha

 

i talked to 2 other dealers and they never called me back with a price.

I'd definitely rather pay him $120 and keep everything OEM than go hacking harnesses adding resistors and stuff.

Any word if this BCM reflash will work? Running the Morimoto tails in my truck and still occasionally getting the hyperflash every once in a while. If flashing the BCM to disable the hyperflash is actually possible, I'm totally doing it.

[rah7777777]

I just dropped off my truck for this BCM flash. So we will see.....

I had some body shop stuff on there too, so probably be late this week before I get it back. 

 

I'm fully expecting a "Oh yea, we couldn't do it like i thought" type of deal.

Any luck with it afterwards!?

Phil tried to have his dealer do this.....no dice.

[rah7777777]

Picked it up yesterday. With a giant scratch on my tail gate!! 

 

They said in the end, they could not do it like they thought. Went from $175 to $300 to nothing. I’ll be adding resistors I guess.

Damn, i have the morimoto tails in my LT. Even with the resistors built in they still tend to hyperflash quite a bit and it's really annoying lol.

i just installed mine on my LT as well and am running into these issues as well, half the time they are fine then out of nowhere my right turn signal is hyper flashing, but my left side has given me no problems in the past few days of ownership.
