Just purchased the diy tail as turn from diode dynamics I wired everything fine rings blink with turn signal and lights up when brake is pressed but when I press the brake with the turn signal on it hyperblinks and 4 ways with brake don't

Did you install a 6ohm resistor on each side?

No. What line do I install it on ?? Thnks in advanced

Turn signal power wire

I went from the turn signal power wire to a ground and I'm still getting hyperblink. DD doesn't know what the problem is. Resistors are getting hot like they should. Anybody know what's wrong?

The load resistor should be in parallel with the LED circuit. Have you confirmed your ground is a good ground using a DMM?

Yes, I tried wiring into the tail light ground (black wire) and also tried using the factory ground (it's a metal bolt right near the wiring). Neither stopped the hyperblinking.

Just buy some load resistors from diode dynamics or eBay. I have the same tail as turn set up and wired the resistors that I bought from eBay ($4) without any issue....One wire connected to the Yellow wire of the tail as turn module and the other resistor wire to the ground wire of the turn signal bulb. Simple as can be and works flawlessly. Hope this helps.

And yes, the load resistor will get hot if the signal is used for a period of time. As long as you are just using it for turning I don't see a problem with overheating though.

Does the rate of flash change with or without the load resistor?

Could very well be a bad resistor or incorrect value.

i would definitely try a new resistor making sure they are the right values, but if he is having hyperflash issues on both sides, then i'd be skeptical at first that both are bad resistors.

You need to make sure that you have the wiring configured correctly, and make sure that you've tapped the correct wires

Could be both are bad or incorrect values. If it were me I'd start by re-examining how the module is hooked up and measure the resistors. I don't believe our car has an actual flasher, so the flash function is part of the BCM. If the former, it's be easy to replace with an electronic flasher.

jman09

yep, first step should be recheck all the wiring and connections and then the resistors.

i installed this DIY kit on my g37x coupe with no issues. definitely recommend a multi-meter to help with the installation.

No it stays the same. And I don't know because I doubt both resistors would be bad.

It's a 6 ohm, 50 watt resistor which is what DD uses in their plug and play kit so I don't think it's an incorrect value.

What resistors did you use and how did you wire them? I went from the yellow wire in the kit to a ground and nothing changed, then I tried turn signal power > ground and still got nothing.

Thank you for bringing up the subject because I didn't even kno that DD sold these!! I've been wanted to do this for a while but the forum member that was making his homemade kit wanted like $75.. I couldn't justify spending that much. But for $15 shipped, done deal.
