Default Anyone have LED tails AND LED front turn signals?

I had to remove my front LED turns because they were causing issues with my Eagle Eye LED tails.

Curious to see if anyone is running both without issues & how you wired things up.

EDIT: I'm wondering if these might solve the issue & allow me to run front turn LEDs w/my Eagle Eye tails

I have Eagle Eye tail lights, with LED license plate lights, and no issues, haven't changed front lights.

Yea, I have LEDs there & side markers too. The problem is front turn signal LEDs.

I have both and other then the hyper-flash I've had no problems. I didn't want to cut into my factory wires for the resistors.

Hyperflash isn't doing it properly. I did it right w/resistors. No cutting was needed. Just add wire taps. Hyperflash is annoying as hell so I won't be going that route.

I have Eagle Eye rear LED lights and VLEDs Triton DRL/turn signal switchback LEDs. Each bulb has its own resistor to prevent hyperflashing.

I have had no issues from any of the bulbs.

What issues were/are you experiencing?

I had resistors up front too, but I still was getting the dash flashing issue. It stopped when I pulled the front LEDs.

I posted this in the other thread but not sure if you saw it: What if you just spliced in another bulb-socket dongle to each front turn? You would still have the load from the incandescent bulbs but the BCM is expecting but you get to use your LEDs in the housings.

It's an idea, but not what I'm looking to do right now.

Yes, I have the LEDs.. I just run the resistors (although I would have much rather been sold bulbs with built in resistors) and everything works great. I guess I don't understand the problem that you are having?

Neither do I. I ran resistors as well. Still had the issue. Once I pulled the front LEDs out & put standard bulbs back in, all was well.

I have to say, I'm not familiar with this one. Is it a message on the DIC or is the whole gauge cluster actually flashing?

I see. Well either the resistors are bad or they're hooked up incorrectly.
I didn't get Hyperflash with the led taillights. They don't seem to be a factor.

The whole cluster.

They were hooked up right & they are not bad because they worked before the tails went in (& still did with the tails, just the gauge cluster flashed too once tails were installed)

Installed Eagle Eye tails two weeks ago and just installed the RFI switchback drls today. Everything works great. No hyperflash.

I'm aware of RFI. Not worth the price to me.

One of my resistor packs on my Eagle Eye LED tail lights went bad and now I hyperflash on one side. Getting a replacement resistor pack is impossible it seems. So frustrating. OT, anyone know how to get one?

I purchased the "Corvettemods" LED front turn signal switchbacks and they were POS's. Both were already falling apart and the swtichback was barely visable on one side. I DO NOT recommend the CorvetteMods LED switchbacks to anyone. They make the stock HID's look like regular halogen bulbs on top of it. Not worth it. CorvetteMods gave me a tough time to return them (even though one didnt even work!). Once again, my advice is to stay away and stick with your amber stocks (or even consider straight amber LED turn signals).
