Front marker lights

The 194 side markers need to be an incandescent bulb. LED"s are polarity sensitive.

Not entirely true. While LEDs are polarity sensitive by nature, some automotive (and other) LED replacements are built/wired internally to not care about polarity. You can absolutely run LED 194 replacements in the corner markers of these trucks, but they need to be a non-polarity sensitive variety. Unfortunately they're not usually labeled either way. I know for a fact that these work, I'm running them in the corners of both of my trucks.

All bulbs are Lasfit non polarity, I have the correct flasher

18 smd LEDs in the lower corners.
+ upper corner light mod w/18 smd LEDs.
+ 36 smd LEDs in the bumper lights. (Actual bulbs. Not LED aftermarket bumper lights/housings.)
EP-29 digital flasher & NO M.F.'ing, insanely stoopid HOT fire inducing resistors.
8 years & no probs with hyper-flash. None. Ever.
The sigs operated as factory.

Ok what's worse than a problem that fixes itself. I came in from work and got my test light and volt meter and was going to check a few things. Then my wife tells me we have to go to the vet in a few minuites, so I`ll have to make it a quick check. Started with the flasher to see what kind of power its getting and it checked 12.4 so then I plugged it back in and turned on the flashers. They worked. Got out and walked up front and the marker lights are working. Go back and try the turn signals, they're working too. I did find evidience a cat had been at work in the cab. Found a wire is pulled down and I have no idea where it goes. Its a black and has I think 4 wires in it and a funny looking double spade plug. Maybe from the Multifunction switch. Will be checking some more this weekend. I was really hoping to get out but they just salted the roads and we will get an inch r two tomorrow.
Ps, Sewlow they look nice!

OK, the cat fixed it. What's it's name?? (mine is Fritz !? ) Dale

I think the purp was Mandoo! He's a sneeky cat. I found out what the wire was and hope these old eyes can see to put it back.

They're only fire-inducing if you're stupid and install them wrong. Your experience does not mean everyone else will be so lucky. If you have LEDs on all four corners (that's front AND rear), your flasher absolutely 100% will not work. Try me.

LEDs front & rear. Including license lights, back-ups & the rear upper corner mod.
The EP-29 is a DIGITAL flasher unit. It operates via 'time' NOT 'impedance'.
These truck's all use the same wiring harness for the lighting system from day-1 to the last one off of the line.
Did you ever think that the someone you got the truck from had dicked around with **** before you got it?

What's with the insults? Did I say YOU were stupid?
Nope. Didn't even infer it.
I have NEVER called anyone on this forum stupid.
I said, "... insanely stoopid HOT fire inducing resistors."
As in...the resistors are stupid.
C-o-m-p-r-e-h-e-n-s-i-o-n. Get it?

"Try me?"
Really? Are you f*cking kidding?
This ain't facebook.
That's the place to behave like a child-in-a-man-suit.

Jeez, salty much? I didn't call YOU stupid, I do in fact believe the opposite to be true. If they catch fire, they were installed wrong, end of story. And let's face it, they don't get used enough to heat up much anyway because the only time current flows through them at all is when the blinkers or flashers are operating. My truck's wiring was 100% factory before I got to it, EP29L installed, no dice because there was NO LOAD. AGAIN, just because you got lucky, doesn't mean your experience is going to be the majority, and IN FACT is an outlier if these numerous kinds of threads are any indicator!

You need load resistors on the blinker circuits, LEDs don't pull enough current for the flasher units to operate correctly. You may also need an electronic flasher to keep from getting the bulb-out hyper-flash.

And before anyone goes calling BS, I've tried every other method to make them work - it WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT LOAD RESISTORS.

It absolutely works without load resistors with the right flasher unit, that's how mine are in my blazer.
