I've ordered both 40 led 3157 switchbacks, clear corner lenses and the 148s or whatever they are for the back. I called Corvette Enhancements for the hyper-flash fix and unfortunately they're back ordered until June 19th.

How much damage would it cause if I installed everything and let it run until I was able to get the fix?

.. my other questions is.. it looks like the relay used is here: http://autolumination.com/equalizers.htm (EP34). It seems pretty straight forward in building this thing. One wire to ground, one to battery and one to 'load'. Anyone have any schematics that show which wire the 'load' would be? I'm guessing that's the one goes to the lights.

Thanks

I have one of the flasher harnesses for $59 shipped if you want one. Just PM me to order it.

 

Get the harness from Jhonathan_W and the CF12ANL-01 2-pin flasher from Autolumination and you're good to go. The flasher is an all electronic variable load unit with no contacts whatever.

Only minor thing I don't like is that because of it being completely electronic it is totally silent in operation but then hey, I guess that's what the green dashboard arrows are for.

 

Why would I need both if Jhonathan_W has the harness?

 

OK, you must not understand what these "harnesses" are. They are aftermarket wiring harnesses, approx. 5" or 6" long, that are made with the correct connectors on each end. Made into the harness is also a flasher socket for a 2 pin flasher. It permits you to use a separate flasher (from the factory flasher) and allows you to install LED lighting without having the "quick-flash" problem.

If Jonathan's harness ships with a flasher already plugged, try it. Most everyone has (in the past at least) used a Tridon EL-12 electronic variable load flasher and they work well for people who have LED tail lights. I had that set-up for several years (LED tail lights only) and it worked fine. Recently, I finally got fed up with having to keep replacing the incandescent DRL/turn signal bulbs due to the the heat they generate and cracking of the housing (allowing water in which is actually the cause of the bulbs blowing out). I decided to go LEDs in the front (non-"switchback"). Got the lights, plugged them in and........nothing. They would illuminate but not flash. Long story short, replaced the EL-12 flasher with the one I mentioned above from Autoillumination and they are now working fine. The flashers that Autoillumination sells are designed specifically with LED lighting in mind and apparently use switching transistor(s) inside instead of a coil which activates a pair of contacts. That would explain why the flasher is totally silent when in operation.

 

great explanation.

i'd just like to add that the EL-12 i've been using has had no problems with front and rear LED lights at all. going strong for a couple years now.




oh yeah and to the OP, the above is the flasher, this is the harness:




the red socket is what the flasher plugs into.

 

You can do this and save money. Same thing the bypass kit does.

It won't hurt to wait but the lights will hyper flash until you change the flasher.

Your harness is on the way Roy.

 

that's a damn fine writeup peter!

i've never seen it before because it's buried in that DIY thread. you should start a thread with it in c5 gen for folks who have never seen it.

 

Ahh ok.. so I just paid for the harness and nothing else. Damn I didn't know that. I thought it was all one piece.

I could've built that harness for like 10 bucks haha.. oh well.

 

you can get the flasher i posted at any local pep boys.

 

Cool thanks.. I'll pick it up once everything comes in.

 

I got a harness with flasher CF!2 JL-02 included, including shipping for $49.95 from Adaptive Performance in Surprise, Ariz. last week.
