@37, something with your hook up is incorrect. Can you take some pics? Being able to see actual connections will be helpful.

Verify resistors are an open by measuring their resistance with an ohm meter.

We will have a plug and play version for the G37 Sedans soon! Just waiting on the factory connectors to arrive

i am using the same value resistors you are. resistor goes from the turn signal wire (before the tail-as-turn DIY kit) and then to ground wire.

actually $10 shipped if you PM DD for a free shipping code, assuming you live in the US.

Ground wire being the solid black one right?

Wow, this is an awesome, sleek mod. I have LED turn signals with wired resistors but they aren't as bright as OEM and this is just much more modern looking.

For those who may be wondering, the OEM LED array is plenty bright for daytime use. (Hence why they are OEM brake lights as well)

Great time to pickup the kit, we are running a 4th of July sale: "JULY4" for 10% off

Nick, I have interest in this product (for a sedan) but would like to retain the stock turn signal bulb. That is, have both the led ring and stock bulb flash when a turn or hazard request is initiated. Appears for the coupe the resistors come prewired. Is it possible to have a variation of this module where the stock bulb is used rather than resistors. Should just be a matter of changing wiring slightly on the oe connectors. In fact, cost should be less as resistors are not needed then.

unless you really need the convenience of the OEM connectors in this kit, you can just use the standard DIY kit and wire the stock turn signal bulb to the output wire of the kit to accomplish what you are looking to do.

^^Not so much the convenience factor. I just don't want to cut into factory wiring unless absolutely necessary. I suppose if I go that route, all connections will be soldered and sealed with heatshrink tubing.

that's what i did instead of using the crimp connectors that came with the kit. plenty of wire and room to work with.

We will have the plug and play Sedan kit available very soon

If you don't want to wait, the DIY kit is just $10 and $10 additional for a set of resistors
