  • @diodedynamics

    @diodedynamics

    2 жыл бұрын

    The reason we add a resistor is because the LED is using much less power than the factory halogen. So, the computer thinks there is a bulb out. This is what causes bulb-out warnings and hyperflash. The resistor puts resistance on the circuit, tricking the computer into thinking that there is a halogen bulb still in the socket. These resistors do get very hot, but are built to handle the heat. We recommend mounting them away from any flammable parts or parts that can melt for this reason. However, if you can find a flasher relay for your vehicle, this is always a much easier option!

    Hi there! The resistor will connect to the blinker wire (check your owners manual for this wire color) and your ground wire. LEDs require much less power to run than factory incandescent bulbs, so this resistance tells the vehicle's computer that the bulb isn't out and eliminates the hyper-blink. You should not need to install resistors on an LED headlight bulb. If you are referring to the blinker bulbs in the headlight location, the process will be the same!

    The vid description should answer your question - "When you replace incandescent turn signal bulbs with LEDs in most vehicles, the vehicle will start hyperblinking because the LED uses much less power, and the vehicle thinks the bulb is out. "

    you are likely (I'm just assuming) splicing the wrong wire, always check which two are the turn signal and ground wire, those two wires are what need to be spliced w/ the 50W 6ohms resistor. Just had my hyberblink fixed.

    Since brake lights are a solid current bulb, you should not need a resistor kit for them. If they also function as your turn signal, however, you may need a resistor on them since the current fluctuates.

    This video is a little misleading because it glosses over that some LED bulbs come pre-installed with resistors and or the taillight / front light relay can be upgraded to accept "hyper flash" LED bulbs. Note that some vehicles may also only have a relay for the rear lights and not the front in which case you may have to use a resistor (or bulb with an included resistor). Also, note that using the proper size of resistor is also key as the larger the resistor the hotter they get and some can resist more power than desired to properly / fully illuminate the LED bulb. Lastly, this simple method of clip install is really the "cheap, quick, and dirty" style. It's really better to cut the wires, strip off 3/4" from each end, slide over 1.5" of heat-shrink on one side, braid the wires together (not twist up wire nut style), solder the connection, then slide the heat shrink over and lightly heat with a lighter to seal the ends for waterproofing. Lastly, resistors should be mounted on metal with screws or double sided thermal tape made to withstand heat. (like what is made for computer chips)

It's so that instead of just buying LEDs from the company will also buy pointless unnecessary resistors. More shit sold = more money for the company. What if they sold you white LEDs and then sold you red covers to install over them for your brake lights? Would you buy them? If your answer was no that's stupid who the fuk would do that? The answer is everybody because that's originally how they sold colored light bulbs.
