hyperflash after harness installed
Hi, I was wondering if anyone is having the same problem as I do. I left everything like it was before and installed the harness inline with the headlights. The daytime LED is now bright and working like it should. It hyperflashes when I use the left and right signal but only during the Daytime. It does Not hyperflash when I am using the headlights at night. Funny thing is it does not hyperflash when I am at park and use the parking brake. It hyperflashes as soon as I dis-engage the parking brake.

Exactly the same
SEE my post here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1598974871
I have not found a solution yet, but have a third supplemental harness from Vette-Lights that I have not yet tried.

I've been putting off this install for about 6 months....
And now that I finally got the "correct" harness... I hear this... ugh...
Keep us all posted on solutions... Thanks...

After installing the second generation harness, the headlights are even more problematic. After several months listening to the seller tell us repeatedly this harness would fix everything, I'm pretty much very angry....on second thought, very pissed off would be more accurate.
And so, have decided to take my car to an engineer owned repair shop and told him not to call to pick up the car until the lights are operating as advertised.
By the way, this harness cost $75, and was a fail.

I bought a set of second generation I was going to install next week. I think I'll wait now.

The workaround for my issue is the same as the 1st generation. I just rotate the headlight stalk towards me and it does not hyperflash. The daytime lights are still in the bright mode...thank goodness.

My car has only the headlights. And, based on my lousy experience with them, for sure not at all interested in the taillights at this point.

I'm getting a little leery about installing mine now. I bought mine from Vette Lights. I must wanted a simple plug and play. Thanks for the info.

The problems that people are having are irregardless whether or not you also have LED tail lights. The problem is that both the "Generation 1 or the Generation 2" Morimoto LED headlights were never a "plug and play" as advertised.

Yes, mine would work this way also, but do you really want to do this every time you get into the car? This also disables the "auto" on feature. When the headlights should come on automatically, you will just get a message saying "headlights suggested."

I've had a long discussion with larry about the lights and we think we came up with a resolution. I will let him explain because i think he'll do a better job of it
The lights are largely plug and play but to get the full functionality of them, you do have to run the harness to the fuse box. But I've explained details in another post for the new harnesses etc.

Just installed the harness and now I have the hyper flashing turns. Has a solution been reached for this? It took forever to get this harness in the first place.

I finished up installing my Vette Lights 2nd generation today. No problems at all and works great.

I actually went with the Radio Flyer harnesses to use with my umnitza Morimoto gen 1 headlights (the umnitza harnesses were not available at the time). It was plug and play and everything works well.

When you said everything works well, could you elaborate. For example, does everything work with the headlight switch set to "auto?" Do the headlights go on and off automatically when the dashboard sensor senses the need for them? Do the white DRL's remain on when the amber signal lights are activated? Do you have any hyperflashing of the directionals when the headlights are OFF?
