Default C6 tail light hyper blinker

I just converted the bulbs to LEDs and I am installing myself. I got two of them on and tested out the blinkers to find out now I have hyper blinkers. I know I need a resistor, does anyone have the actual p/n that I need for the resistor? I want to pickup at the local auto parts store.

thanks!

Thank You!

Do the wire colors match the vettes? Can we mount with double sided adhesive instead of drilling a hole?

Thank you.

The wire colors are different on a C6. If you do not want to splice into your wires, Sharp Light Innovations makes a plug and play harness for the C6.

Thanks for the info!

I don’t mind splicing into the wire, just concerned that if I buy a resistor I would have to drill holes to mount

. You should because they need to dissipate the heat preferably to metal. The hyper flash harness from Sharp Light has the mounting hardware with it. This mounts behind the RR tailight to metal and is plug and play. No holes to drill.

That's a good point i haven't thought about. I was taking a look at the difference in lights from the OEM bulb to the replacement LEDs and they look almost identical. Hmm, wonder if that has something to do with it.

Reached out to Cole from VL and trying to get this figured out now.

I have given you the answer. Cole will tell you the same thing. He is a Vendor with some knowledge but the answer is with the Sharp Light Innovations Hyperflash Harness. No drilling and plug and play.

^^^^^What he said. I got the Sharp Light Innovations harnesses for both, rear and front lights and they are well worth it if you like the factory no-splicing look. Rear is pictured below; it connects to the C6 main harness that feeds all 4 rear lights. I did not take pics of the front, but each light plugs into the C6 harness individually up front, one resistor for each light. No drilling at all; there are places on the frame to mount the resistors that Sharp Lights provide. The front was more difficult to do, but there is a nice place on driver side and passenger side to mount each resistor to the frame. Quality resistor harness for front and rear by Sharp Light Innovations, excellent.

Thanks for the info. I will take a look inside the light to try and locate this spot for the resistor as I do not want to drill.

I also have the sharp light harness. Couldn’t have been easier. You’ll need a washer and another nut like in the picture above. I left the factory nut on that stud and then slipped the harness bracket on top and tightened it down. Takes roughly 90 seconds to install, and no splicing of factory wiring.

OP, I have a tail light hyperflash harness I'm not going to use. $25 shipped if you want to go that route.

Oh I wish you got to me about 12 hours sooner!

Thank you for the offer I really appreciate it. This is exactly what I needed and ended up buying from VetteLights. Thanks @doomi
