Default Hyperflash or not when using hazard switch

Hello .

I have ordered and intend to install these modified LED Halo taillights .
I will also install the the harness with LED flasher shown below and due to this my turnlights will operates without hyperflashing .

But , what if I operate my hazard switch , will I get hyperflashing turnlights then ?

I hope someone who has installed these LED tailights can give me a feedback on this issue .






I have also ordered ordered this third LED brakelight .
Do I need to connect a load resistor ( 6 ohm 50w) on this brakelight to avoid alarm from my EBTCM module when I activate my brakes .

The EBCTM receive a voltage signal from the stoplampwitch and I guess the voltage level is different when you use LED instead of stock bulbs .

My experience is that the lights will hyperflash when using the hazard switch. Otherwise the turn signals work as normal.

OK . Thanks

Then I have to get me another EP29 LED Turn Signal Flasher Relay and figure out a modified schematic to avoid hyperflash when using the hazard switch

Just curious. Is there a need for you to have a regular rate flash for hazards (inspection) or just a preference? With LED lights, the hyperflash makes the car very noticeable and I actually prefer the hyperflash for hazards.

You won't be able to avoid it without modifying the flasher itself, or using load resistors. I can show you what I did to my flasher, but it probably is more than what you want to do. It involves basically gutting the thing, keeping only the spring-switch portion, and putting in momentary switches.

The OEM 3rd brake light IS an LED assembly. Replacing it with another LED unit should not make a difference.

If your modified LED Halo taillights have the built-in resistors like the one shown below, no error code should be generated and no extra resistors should be needed for this purpose.

Thanks for your replies .

It seems like my LED´s have load resistors when I look on this picture from my ebay order and then my stock flasher should work without any hyperflashing ( I hope ).
