Default hyper blinking tail light after

doing the VHT night shades mod. All I did was paint the tail lights and when I was checking the lights to see how bright they were my right side was hyper flashing and my left was normal. All lights still on but could one be going bad and that is why?

On a side note the lights look great, I took my time and clear coated them too. They do shine pretty good without the clear but I wanted that extra protection and a little more shine. Also did the front and back side markers. Have to do the fogs later.

I will paint the calipars red too.

Car was all silver.

So still have the problem. I didn't switch to LEDs just took off the lights to blackout. I switched the bulbs from the good side to the bad side , same result on the bad side. When I do the emergency lights the bad side flashes normal. Ideas?

Make sure the plug is pushed in tight on the right side. I switched my side markers through the tail light hole and when I put it back together I had hyper flash on the right side. Took it out and the plug was loose.

I will give that a look, you are talking about the plug that holds the light and plugs into the wiring harness? Thanks.

Are you sure the front bulb isn't bad?

Also, check the front right turn signal to make sure it is working.
