Fixing LED hyperflash without using resisters?

[marc1255boats]

Hello,
I have a 2014 Tahoe and I changed my turn signals to LED and now they HYPERFLASH. I heard there might be a turn signal relay that you can switch that is LED compatible. I bought resisters but they get so hot I'm afraid i'll burn down the truck, melt wires, or anything around the tail lights. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You can NOT swap flashers like the older trucks because there is no flasher, the flash rate is controlled by the body control module.

You need to get the BCM reflashed/reprogrammed to be LED compatible.

Here is a link to where you can have it done:

Alternately you could mount the resistors under the truck screwed into the metal to act as a better heat sink and just run the wires back up to the connectors.

or you could order something like this and not have to splice or cut or solder anything, they should not get that "hot", warm maybe after all there only running at 50% duty cycle, maybe if your running a bare resistor with no heat sink material?.

Hey there
I have a 13 Denali XL and I swapped all the bulbs to LED's will I need those load resistors for every bulb?

Only for turn signals. So 4 total.
