Special LED flasher modules to eliminate hyperflash
Anyone tried the special LED flasher module in their C5 to eliminate hyperflash? If they work I find this a much more appealing solution than a special harness or resistors.
Here is the link to the flasher modules

Are you experiencing hyper-flash right now? I just installed new LED tails in my '04 coupe and have only experienced hyper-flash while the car was off (testing the install). Once I got it up and running the lights were good to go. I've heard of other forum members experiencing this also... Luck of the draw I guess

I have not made the move yet to order the Switchback DRL bulbs yet due to the fact I really do not want to add a special harness or resistors. My hope is that I would not have the problem either, but if I did I wanted to have a plan in place and a special flasher that will work with regular or led bulbs would be great and you would never have to worry about it again.

You don't need a special harness. The $11 Autozone heavy duty flasher works just fine.
Remove the radio surround and knee bolster on the drivers side. Unplug the harness leading up to the hazard switch. Depin the pink and purple wires from the chassis side of the harness. Make yourself a few pigtails that connect from the harness to the new flasher. Plug the new flasher into the chassis wires you just depinned. PINK goes to the B terminal on the flasher, PURPLE goes to the L terminal on the flasher.
Test it before reassembling the car. Cost is just the cost of the flasher, some terminals and wire if you don't have them around. No-cut, no permanent mods, saves you $40+ to go for gas or taco bell.

They're no good. The C5 flasher is part of the hazard switch.
I recommend you install a flasher bypass harness. Then the hazard/flasher won't act up and leave you with intermittent signals one day.

Can you add a few pics into your write-up?

But has anyone done this? Is there a write up? Or better yet, does anyone know where to get the connectors to make our own?

I assume T-taps wouldn't work since it would still be going thru the stock flasher? But IF I can get the wires removed from the molex connector I can reinsert and make it stock again.
Also, I seen people use two and three pin connectors, is one better over the other?
