A standard 21w turn signal bulb will draw approx.
Led turn signal bulbs flash fast.
Led bulb load resistors the hyper flash fix.
Hyper flashing also known as rapid flash or hyper flash it s the most common phenomenon that occurs when you change your turn signals to led lights.
This type of signal flasher relay work by heating up with the current for the bulbs passes through the relay.
Hyper flash is exactly what it sounds like where the turn signal light flashes rapidly and is almost headache inducing.
This happens because your new led bulbs draw such little power that your turn signal relay sees the bulbs as being out.
Led s draw much less current than filament bulbs.
Solving turn signal blinking fast issues 3.
The standard resistor for motorcycle turn signals is a 8 ohm 25 watt resistor which will work on virtually every led turn.
The reason that the turn signals suddenly stop working after led or smd bulbs are installed has to do with the load put on the signal flasher relay.
In this video i take a flasher relay apart and show you how it works and why you need a new one if you change to led flashers.
Since led turn signal bulbs draw much less power than the original factory būlbs this will cause a sudden drop in the circuit s resistance causing the hyper flash or rapid blinking of the turn.
Resistors can go by a few different names some will call it a load relay or load equalizer but what they are going to do is resist the amount of wattage going to the leds.
In many vehicles the signal flasher is a thermal flasher design.
Read the full guide on how to correct hyperflashing in turn signals.
Even when you encounter a bulb failure in the headlamp then also the turn signals start blinking fast.
No worries it s an easy fix.
Hyperflashing is when the turn signals blink faster than your stock incandescent bulbs did.
If you don t install load resistors also known as equalizers with led turn signal bulbs you will experience the notorious hyper flash issue.
1 75 amps of current at 12v.
A led turn signal will draw a lot less usually less than 5 amps.
