Help LED hyper flash

[varycoolman579]

So I replaced the DRL and signal bulbs on my 2009 Tahoe with Switchback LEDs and they now hyper flash. I can't find anything on how to specificaly fix it and its driving me nuts. I have resistors but don't know how to wire them either. If anyone knows a way to fix it without having to install the resistors that would be great.

I'm almost positive you have to install the resistors.

Get the flasher relay from a commercial vehical. They work with leds

Or you could locate your factory flasher, remove pop it open, and cut out the pin pictured. No more hyper flash the free way.

Resistors are easy to do.

I've got an 07 Yukon. I haven't gotten to the switchbacks in the front, but my rear turn signal LEDs needed the resistor spliced between the yellow and black wire going to the turn signal socket. The third wire (running lights) is brown. if your wires aren't the same color, most likely you would splice between the negative (most likely black) wire and the most brightly colored wire leading to the socket. Remember to mount the resistors to metal. Even though they only see current when the signal is flashing, they can still get pretty hot.

Just realized you said the bulbs were in your DRLs, something I don't have. If you put single filament bulbs in the DRL they should work fine. I suppose dual filament bulbs could hyper flash in the DRL socket. Are you trying to use your DRLs as turn signals?

When the lights switch to night mode the outside bulbs stay on. Sorry my DRLs don't signal or anything

Is this relay in my tahoe? And where can I find it?

I too am interested in this but for my 13 yukon, Id rather go the factory flasher route if possible, otherwise Ill install resistors. Of course my front turn signals have 5 wires coming out of it, blue, brown, black, black, black.

Just read that the turn signal clicking noise comes from the BCM through your speakers so the factory flasher is out of the question. But you could take your truck to the dealer and have the computer programmed for LEDs or just install resistors.
