G4s on the way. Hope I get a good set!

The supplier said most people that have trouble with "HyperFlash" have after
market electronic mods such as subs, HIDs, and sound systems that affect the electrical system. Blowing smoke up my ...? I didn't ask about condensation or anything else.

Yeah, I'd say that's nonsense. Yes, he's probably right about people having aftermarket stuff, but I don't think he's right about that having anything to do with the lights hyper flashing.

lol bunch of nonsense.

My all my lights on my truck are still bone stock and one set still hyper flashed.

It's just the luck of the draw with the G4s ... hopefully I got all the bad sets out of the way so everyone else will be fine.

 

[jmzvet]

Will I know right away if they are bad or do they hyper flash intermittently?

 

[soulsea]

Yup. don't even mount them ... just unplug the harness under the bumper and plug into the new ones, set them on a towel on the ground and test them. If they hyperflash they will do two regular blinks and then flash at double speed.

I'll know tomorrow!
Thanks

Should I do this with the G5's that I just received? I planned on installing the appliques, esky 3rd light, and G5's this weekend.

 

[soulsea]

Why not chaz ... it takes a couple of minutes to test them.

GOt me worried now, shady ebay folks. I'm bout to go test them things straight after work.

 

[soulsea]

Nah, the ebay sellers aren't the issue ... if there is a defective light it'll be the manufacturer.

I must note however that so far as I've noticed the issue is predominantly on the G4s, so I'm sure you'll be fine.
