LED light hyperflash problem on Custom Trail Boss 2024

So I installed a set of "plug'n'play" high and low LED lights on my Custom Trail Boss 2024 and even though I was told by the manufacturer that a lot of clients installed it without any problems, I got an kind of hyperflash or fast flicker ONLY when the truck get in auto stop and then restarts.

So I contacted the seller and he told me that even though it was strange because it was the first time he heard that, I should install an anti-flicker module, which I did. However, even with the anti-flicker module, I still get the hyperflash when the truck restarts after an auto start/stop. The rest of the time, everything work fine.

Anybody already had a similar issue and/or have any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

What brand of LED bulbs did you use?

It is a local guy in Canada where I’m from that sells this brand which is kind of unknown, but I had some good comments from some local folks so I went with them. Probably should have chosen something else I guess : https://ledenligne.com/products/kit-led-chevrolet-silverado-1500-custom-trail-boss-2019-2020?_pos=2&_sid=cf8d63283&_ss=r


Same for the anti-flicker modules : https://ledenligne.com/collections/accessoires/products/decodeur-canbus-pour-led-haute-qualite?variant=18567027785826

 

Thanks!

I had hyperflashing on my last 2021 Trail Boss Custom. The LEDs I installed were hyperflashing on the turn signals. I also had hyperflashing on the license plate lights that I installed. Never used "anti flicker modules". In my situation I had cheap, sh*tty LEDs. I replaced those LEDs with Lasfits. Excellent LEDs no flashing and no modules. I now have a 2023 Trail Boss Custom and I replaced all incandescents with Lasfit LEDs. I did replace my incandescent tail/brake light assemblies with OEM LED tail/brake assemblies and had to install a resister wiring harness inline to prevent hyperflash on the rear turn signal LEDs. Got the resister harness from Gen5DYI. You obviously did not buy cheap LEDs $220 CAD. I would suggest trying to return your LEDs and purchase Lasfits (they have them on Amazon). This is not a commercial for Lasfit. They are just LEDs that I know work well.

 

I hope this is helpful for you.

Thanks for the hint. I might try Lasfit. Can you share a link to the exact ones you purchased for the LED low beams? Thanks again pal!

I realize this is an older thread… I just put Lasfit LEDs n the tails, reverse, side markers and license plate lights. Within a a couple days the turn signals started hyperflashing intermittently. Inconsistent. May stop doing it if I turn blinker off and turn it back on, may not. Anyone else have this issue?  Lasfit refunded my money and are very easy to work with. Just wish these LEDs worked properly. 2019 Silverado LT

I initially used resisters, for some reason the top lights wouldn’t be on when the tails were on. That was just as annoying as the hyperflash. I did resisters on all 4 tail light bulbs. Maybe should have just done 2?  I’m now on my 3rd update of lasfit lights. This last set did perfect for just over a month and now continue to intermittently hyperflash. 🤪. Lasfit is supposed to continue to update and replace as they come up w new bulb.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
