I ordered a set of LED's online because one of my incandescent rear lights had burnt out. LEDs are better, rite? rite?
So the lights are lovely actually. But they have the 'hyperflash' or fast-blinking problem (becaue the load from an LED bulb is much lower than an incandescent, and the controller gets confused).
SuperbrightLED sells a restistor pack for just this problem. So I got it, took apart the rear left housing, and installed the resistor and... nuthin. Same hyeprflash problem. I'm wondering if I've misconnected something - I tried on the other wire, but no difference.
I used the ground wire and the Yellow-and-White wire. Am I doing something wrong?
In the pic, you can see where I had it on the white-with-yellow, then tried the white-with-purple (no difference), and then re-crimped it onto the white-with-yellow. Still nada.
I'm aware of the heat problem the resister generates. I'm planning on mounting it in a way to keep it away from anything that mightmelt.
