led tails flickering fast

[TEXAS DEMON]

i just installed new set of matrix led tails. everything is fine, but when i put the turn signals it starts slow then goes fast. what is going on hahaha?

[lowAZhoe]

u need resistors. just did this to my wifes yukon

[TEXAS DEMON]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ok. do you know what type of resistors? will this cause a short on the electrical systemi if i dont install them soon?
thanks

[lowAZhoe]

got mine from v-leds. they are just load resisitors. wont cause any problems, it just thinks a light bulb is out.

[TEXAS DEMON]

cool. i ll get that done.

Might also be a problem with the lights themselves (which was the case in my situation). If that's the case, new resistors won't help.

Incidentally, are you sure that yours DON'T have resistors?

[lowAZhoe]

led tails usually have resistor packs built in or included. ive done leds one 4 different 07+ tahoes/yukons and they have all flashed fast only when turn signal on with the brakes on. at first i swapped them for new ones, new resistor packs, and still same issue. added resistor to turn signal wire and problem solved.

yeah it has what i belive is the resistor pack. is a black box.

Make sure your resistor pack is plugged in good? It's possible that its not making a good connection!:Handshake:

Negra -- I hope your experience is different than mine was, but I had to send back one of my tails because the problem was in the LIGHT, not the resistor. The Co. insisted that I try new resistors first, which I understand, but the problem was in the light. New resistors, same problem. New light, problem solved. Just want to forewarn you that it could very well be in the light.

What brand of led tails are you guys running? I want to buy some, but would like to avoid those companies.

Thanks
