So I am hoping someone might be able to help me or give me some insight on here with an issue I started having with my aftermarket tail lights. I have had them for 8-9 years now and never had an issue but the left rear turn signal started intermittently malfunctioning 3-4 weeks ago where it would start hyper-flashing after 3 blinks. It was pretty sporadic at first and would usually go away but for the past week it’s been doing it every time I use it now. I finally figured I would do some troubleshooting today. The fuses and bulbs were all good; I thought maybe it was the resistor causing the issue since they are LED lights so I took the resistor out of my right taillight and plugged it into my left taillight and it was still doing it so thought I eliminated the resistor as the issue. Next I took the whole right taillight assembly and plugged the left connector into that to see if it was the taillight itself or the wiring harness that was causing the issue. The right taillight worked fine which led me to believe it must be the taillight itself and not the wiring harness. Well I took the right taillight and put that back in the right side of my truck and now that one is hyper-flashing too haha?!🤪 No idea why that one would be doing it now too as that never had an issue before…any idea what could be causing this? Thanks for any help or advice in advance!

I would guess that something in the lamp has failed after the years you have had them. Sounds like its time to replace them. Plenty of good options out there. I just installed a pair of Lasfit 7444 red lamps on the tail lights/brake lights of my 25 Silverado 3500 and they work very well.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
