Need help with turn signal issue

[kishanSR5]

I recently removed my factory front bumper and turn signals and am now a set of 6" oval sequential trailer turn signals for the front of my truck. They are 3 wires coming off the light itself; tail, ground, and stop & turn. I have the ground and stop & turn wires hooked up to the factory turn signal wires. And it does flash however it doesn't flash properly. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
Here is a video of how it flashes.

Just blinking too fast? You can add the EP35 flasher or resisters to the lights.

try a flasher relay as mentioned, looks like its blinking too fast due to lower resistance.

I already have the ep35 flasher because my front and rear turn signals are led's. What else can I try?

try disconnecting the stop wire, you shouldnt need that.

The stop & turn signal wire is one combined wire.

If you've gone all LED you're going to need some resistors added somewhere in the system.

That might work yeah. I also tested the lights with a constant 12V source (wire connected from the battery to the light directly) and they blink sequentially just like they are supposed to. No half flashes or anything. So what I think I need to do for both sides is create some sort of harness with a relay that uses the turn signal power wire as a signal wire and deliver a constant 12V to the turn signal while the turn signal is active.

I just ordered a pair of resistors and they should be coming in monday. So I'll do some testing then and post what happens

I believe that light is designed to receive a constant 12v, not the flashing sequence of a standard turn signal. Also, no need to add resistors, you can modify your flasher by cutting the "bulb out" hyper flash function. I'll try to get the link here in a bit.

Well I guess it's a bit too late because I ordered the resistors but yeah they are designed for a constant 12V. I would really appreciate any help on getting this to work properly.

Go to the flasher relay and jam a wire in to the input feed for the relay, that should be s constant signal.

 

[kishanSR5]

Tried the resistors, no luck. They were flashing exactly the same.

Here is a link to convert your turn signal flashing to a constant output. It is designed for a clearance lamp, but will work fine for what you want.

Ah ok. So I'm guessing the diagram I am supposed to look at is the one "Pulse to Steady Output"? And based on that diagram I need to find the wire that provides a 12v signal to the flasher relay and create a parallel circuit with that wire using a capacitor and resistor ?

No, just run the flashing(pulse) turn signal circuit to the capacitor in that circuit.
