Slowing sequencial turn signals
Hi,
I installed a sequencial turn signal kit on my 04 and as others have said it is very cool. Very easy to do too.
However, I would like to slow down the sequencing between the flash of each light. The instruction suggested different bulbs like 3357 or 4157 which are higher wattage than the OEM 3057 but I tried that with no improvement.
On a regular car you could install a heavy duty flasher but I know the C5 runs the signals through the hazard flasher module which is not an easy plug and play replacement.
Any other thoughts? As I said, the mod works fine and it does look cool. I just want it to slow down a bit.
Yeah, I know I am a picky pain in the a**. Wife tells me that all the time!

Btw, the subject of the OP is about sequential flashers, which have their own timing circuits, etc and not really a part of the "hyper-flash" problem as far as turn signals generally.

Hyperflash is what happens when the load from the bulb/led is not enough so the car thinks a bulb is out thus doubling the flash rate. This sometimes happens with Halo LED Tail Lights on very rare occasions which can sometimes be reset by doing a certain de-install/re-install procedure. In the event that that does not work, I can supply you with the relay/harness bypass kit for $69 plus about 5-8 for shipping. for those that want to use paypal, you can by sending $74.99 to:
brianrosenberg@gmail.com
You can also get the exact product info here...
or PM me your phone number and I can take credit card over the phone.
You would need this relay if you were to do LED's up front anyway.

Yes to all who said I just want to slow down the sequence. I don't think a bypass harness would work as I don't have Hyperflash just want to slow the seqence between the two lights flashing down.
I think thats why the manufacturer says use a different bulb. As I said its probably slow for most folks but I want it slower...dammit!

The circuit would (should) have adjustability for the end-user so that everyone can adjust the rate of sequential flash to suit themselves. What is "fast" to some, is "OK" to others, etc, etc.
The flasher in the dash or the "adapter harness" to use another flasher, is not the answer here.
