Hi All:
I got my LED's from Brian from F! performance. Great, Great service. He calls you personally and is right on the money. I had a hyper-flash issue, he gave a set of instructions to follow and the issue was gone.
Easy install, looks great. I have a set of Phantom taillight detail rings in my body color and it just blends together.

Thanks for the props!! In case anyone has a hyperflash issue and does not purchase the relay from Richard (we work together and don't step on each others toes and always help each others customers when it comes to tech solutions like this) here is the 90% of the time fix for Halo's from Richard or myself.
1. Leave car running and lights hyperflashing
2. Pull lights from bumper cover, tape a towel to the cover so they don't scratch when leaning against the car.
3. Unplug all lights and re-install all incandescent bulbs, the hyperflash might go away, if so, goto step 5.
4. Shut car off, wait 30 seconds, turn key on, start engine, try and re-create hyperflash with signals.
5. As long as there is no hyperflash present, leave car running, remove bulbs and re-connect tail lights and test. All should be good, cycle the key/start a few times to ensure the hyperflash does not come back.
6. If the hyperflash is still there or returns, try again.
If you can't get it to not flash, I offer a full return policy for a replacement within 90 days of purchase. All I need is a return tracking number to release a new set.
Best bet, get the relay, then you can do LED Switchbacks up front.

From: "This is not a psychotic episode, but a cleansing moment of clarity."
The hazzard switch and turn signal flasher use the same flasher to make the lights blink from the factory. The harness you installed is called a flasher bypass harness (when you use the turn signals you are bypassing the flasher that came with the car and using the electronic flasher that is came with it) so you get no hyperflash. But when you use the hazzards you are using the flasher that is built into the car so with the LED's you'll get hyperflash. If it really bothers you that much, you could remove the stock flasher (its a major job because its buried in the dash and hard to get to) and replace it with an electronic one (if they make one) and remove your bypass harness.
I just haven't heard anyone else mention that their hazards hyperflash with the bypass harness installed, so I was curious about it. Thanks.
