Can a LED flasher increase the flash rate?
For anyone who has added LED bulbs to their vehicles turn signals or brake lights. Since the LED bulbs use less Amps than normal bulbs, the flasher unit thinks there is a bulb burnt out and doubles the flash rate. This instructable will show you how to alter the flasher module in your car for variable flash speeds.
Do you need a flasher for an LED turn signal?
Yes, even if you go with LED bulbs in your turn signals you will still either need a replacement flasher relay or load resistors across each LED turn signal bulb.
How to change the flasher rate on your car?
Introduction: Automotive Electronic Flasher Rate Modification. For anyone who has added LED bulbs to their vehicles turn signals or brake lights. Since the LED bulbs use less Amps than normal bulbs, the flasher unit thinks there is a bulb burnt out and doubles the flash rate.
When do you change your turn signal to led?
Hyper-flashing, also known as rapid flash or hyper flash, it’s the most common phenomenon that occurs when you change your turn signals to LED lights.
Yes, even if you go with LED bulbs in your turn signals you will still either need a replacement flasher relay or load resistors across each LED turn signal bulb.
Hyper-flashing, also known as rapid flash or hyper flash, it’s the most common phenomenon that occurs when you change your turn signals to LED lights.
How can I slow down my LED flasher?
Unlike plug-and-play LED flasher modules, load resistor kits require some wiring to install. Through the use of a load resistor kit (pictured right), LED bulb blinking can be slowed down to a normal rate. These resistors are to be installed in parallel (tied to positive and negative) for each LED bulb.
What should I do if my turn signal is not flashing?
Upgrading the signal flasher resolves the problems associated with LED conversion about 95% of the time. They are the recommended solution to the problem, but they are not the only solution. The other alternative is to add in line load resistors to the turn signal system.
