I'm going to be making my own signal bulbs for the tails with red Philips superflux LEDs, due to the size limits of a 7440 and 194 bulb I know they won't be pulling enough current to convince the flasher there's an incandescent bulb.

If I use load resistors for the rear 7440 bulbs, will the LED 194 side markers still cause hyperflashing?

 

If you have regular bulbs in the back that are larger like you do it prlly wont cause hyperflashing. But if it does id say get a electronic flasher instead of a load resistor. JMO

 

I'm not sure what that first part means. And I could be wrong, but don't the G's have modules instead of replaceable flashers?

All I'm asking is if I have load resistors on the 7440s and not the 194 corners, will it still hyperflash?

 

No one has done this..?

 

get a hold of diode dynamics in the vendor section, they helped my buddy out when he changed his blinkers to led and he had hyperflashing. they sent him the resistor and it stopped.

 

I have resistors, I was just asking if I need them for the corners too.

 

^ if i understand you right, the side corner bulbs have nothing to do with turn signals and replacing them with leds will not cause hyperflashing

 

Thanks, but are the rear side/corners not also flashing with the signals..?

 

Our cars dont have flashers? News to me, nvm. Guess load resistors are the only option I guees lol

 

ok so we are talking taillight bulbs only?

The 194 bulb in the taillight will not make any difference to the turn signal. If your replacing the 7440 bulb then you have to add resistor to prevent hyperflashing. What you can do is, replace both front and back with led and use a bigger resistor on the rear instead of adding resistors on both ends.

Hope that helps, also download the fsm or pm me your email and i'll send you the electrical part of it atleast

 

Okay thanks that's what I wanted to know, I only have basic 6 ohm 50w resistors, so I can't bundle up in the front or back.

I actually took the tails out and found the pigtail I need to put resistors on. I know on some vehicles though you need those mini load resistors on the corners, but glad to know these don't.

 

Parts came in today, it definitely hyperflashes as expected. And I was wrong, markers in the back just act as park lights. No brake/signal functions.

LED on the left for comparison:
