I'd see about returning those lights if you can and getting some different ones
No sense in hacking up the vehicle in order to make something that isn't right work.
That same timer IC is in a wide variety of electronic flasher units, even the dual-style in GMT800 trucks. All it takes to find out is popping the cover off the unit.I would but the thing is the info on your hack has to deal with a different model relay. Plus, hyper-flash isn't my issue right now. As I stated in the posts before my lights came with one plug and one resistor pack. When I have the turn signal bulb in the socket and the LED light plugged in the other socket I have no hyper-flash. It's only when just the LED light(because of the one plug) is plugged in then I get hyper-flash. So either I figure out a way to put resistance on the empty socket or figure out how to cancel that line somewhere else.
That's the same 6ohm/50watt most people would use. No need to pay Sylvania's crazy inflated $15/pr price for them! You can score them for typically $5-$7/pr same specs and design from many other sources.I have the same LED signal lights with the same fast flash issue. I helped a buddy that had this issue on a sprinter Van. In one of their forums they recommended THIS. It's a different spec load resistor. It's crazy how massive the load resistor is for the Chevy LED set in contrast to the fix for the Sprinter. I might add this resistor in parallel to see what happens before I replace the original which I believe was incorrectly engineered in the first place. My truck isn't a daily driver so it's lower on the priority list. Please report back if you have success.
Check with your local laws, every state/country will be different.Is it legal to install coloured LED's to light up a licence plate?
Or, manufacturing defect - other plug left off in error, or it's jammed in there during assembly? Dunno.
I wouldn't throw a bulb in the empty socket just to create a dummy load, nor would I install a resistor. I'd hack the stock flasher and be done with it.
