LED Blinker Hyperflash

I know this has been asked a million times but I can’t find an answer right now and my car needs to pass inspection soon. How do you get LED blinkers not to hyper flash. I’m assuming it’s a resistance thing does anyone know if you can just put a resistor in the circuit to trick it what Ohm?

You'll have use a hyper flash relay and install it on the back of the ecu by the driver door. Here is a video

edit: LED turn signal "hyper flash" fix?

CF 18 flasher

Install a LED turn signal flasher (CF 18). The pic says Subaru but Toyota uses the same flasher / relay.

On my Civic I have a Sylvania Resistor installed ($15) and spliced both ends - one to the ground and the other to the blinker. It's still working fine and the blinkers work great.

I used this relay from Napa when I installed LED blinkers and it does work. No more hyperflash.

Swap the relay, skip the resistors.

With bad luck, a hot resistor can start a fire... I've bought a bike that suffered that fate to use it as a track bike. Nevermind that it's just a sloppy way to fix the problem.

3rd-gens don't use CF18s, those are for 4th-gens.

The other problem with most resistors is folks simply hack them into the wiring harness. Although it may cure the hyperflash issue, it opens the door to all sorts of (generally more serious) electrical issues down the road.

I would do a little more than run a single, tiny LED for a turn signal, that doesn't seem very safe

I used a adjustable flasher relay has knob on relay you turn to match load. 3 yr so far.

Decoder

You can try to use the resistance decoders to solve the problem of light bulb flickering

How should the resistors be wired? Thank you.

Back in the 90’s they were just called electronic flash relay. My 94 ram had one factory because of the trailer lights. They are loud when in use.

I used one on (spare from my truck) my motorcycle XL600 enduro when I canned the factory stalks for bark busters with built in led turn signals. Worked great

i think that now most LED lights are better.now i also know that there is cheap crap out there.....not only the bulbs but the flashers.
i switched all my exterior bulbs to led....well not head lights. Bulbs that many said were good to go. I also used a flasher relay rated for led's...from amazon...cheap.
i did not get hyper flash after that.....but I got an issue where if I stepped on brake ped that both rear turn signals light up dull but also on dash. here on the forum it was suggested I had a bad ground. I went through it all. then one day a member here said dont trust cheap flasher relays. so I went and got one from napa for LED's.....well other than the pain in the butt location for the relay....that fixed my issue.
all the realys come from china i bet...but then there is a better version...and a cheap as cr*p version. same with bulbs.

Thank you for sharing! I have already bought it, and it works great. I needed new blinkers for my car, and I am glad I bought such bulbs. I destroyed my old ones because my dad pranked me. He bought me a car after I got my driver's license and said I needed blinker fluid. I found it on Amazon, and it arrived in one day. My father wasn't at home, so I watched videos of how to do it, and I found another prank that made a tutorial. I didn't think it was a prank, so it stopped working after inserting the blinker fluid.
