I just installed all led running and signal bulbs. I used the sylvania zevo led bulbs. The running lights light up like they should but when i turn the signal lights on they just light up but don't blink. I didnt use any load resistors. Any ideas?? Will load resistors help?? I first tried some cheap ebay leds and they all worked fine but they just weren't very bright. The incandescent bulbs were brighter than the ebay led. So i got some sylvania zevo led and man they are alot brighter. 4 1157, 2 194 in red in rear and 2 1157 and 2 194 in amber in front. And 1156 white for reverse lights all zevo leds also i changed the flasher relay with an American autowire led flasher relay

I was hoping to find a fix to this issue myself. Last night I purchased 2 for the front bottom and if I twist them in one way they are super bright however they don’t work with the signal flasher. When I turn them in the other way they are dim and do work with the flasher. The issue I also seen when I drove it last night is that my green turn signals came on the cluster, they work left and right they just stay lit, that never happened with the other original bulbs. I wonder if I upgrade the wiring with the relays it may change. Let me know if you ever fixed your issue, I might just go back to originals.

I think you messaged me on youtube, my bad about slow reply. You need the LED flashers. My signal lights did the same thing with stock flashers. I also had a hodge podge of non LED, and LED bulbs so I had to unplug all of them and pinpoint the error.

a load resisitor is used if the flash is hyper fast.....the led flasher should solve the issue

No problem and I appreciate your time. So I’m going to order the flashers? Is it 2 I need? Also should I wait for the flasher before upgrading the rest of the bulbs, or will it work led and none led. I was just going to do the brake lights and the front, last night I was eager to try them and orrielly got me for 27 and change..

Yeah, you need 2 flashers. You can wait to upgrade the other bulbs. Price match, it took me a week longer to get all the bulbs, but Advance had the best price on most and they matched Walmart and others prices.

Hey injectedcutty
My flashers just came in, do the originals have a ground too? Or do I have to ground the new flashers? A05AF5F4-97C7-4715-8089-780CA125CF47.jpeg
