I thought the G4's had all that shit built in! They got a bunch of extra shit on the back of that light that's not in my stock lights!!

Told you so.......... G4s suck.........

I had the same problem and I had to return mine. The problem for me was in the lights and not in the resistor boxes. The way to determine this is to swap the grey boxes ......

If yours are under warranty I say file a claim and/or return them asap.


Also there are a lot of known issues with moisture build up sometimes.

If you have no warranty or cannot return them try the metal resistors. You can get them from ebay or Amazon. Jacob 07burb has them as well.

As I said earlier though...... the problem may be in the lights.

I had this issue with my g4's and put in the correct gold metal resistors that are on autolumination.com and the problem went away. It's an easy fix...

Cool thanks! Do I need 3 or 6 ohm??

Well, I think I got it! Looks like it was loose ground in the light plug itself!

This can be caused by a few things...

1. Loose ground like you say you found :)
2. If your reverse light burns out it'll cause the light to hyperflash
3. The "resistors" that come wired into the lights go bad and you need to buy better resistors. I bought new resistors before I ever installed my G4's and have been happy. I got them from vled.com.

So just some things to keep in mind. I've had my G4's for over two years now with zero issues.

Thanks man! If I decide to do the resistors as precaution. Do I need the 3 or 6 ohm?? I looked at your thread! And couldn't quiet zoom in enough in the pic, but it looked like 6 ohm.

Let me take a look for you. I think I went with 3 ohm, though. I'll look and confirm for you when I get a chance :waytogo:
