    Alright, so this is a little different than everyone else's hyper blinking problems. I think I've figured out the issue, just not sure of the solution (of course without wiring in a resistor). I installed the Morimoto HID kit. This kit is set up to only use 1 of the headlight plugs. The other one hangs out. So I put in a bunch of LED's for turns/brakes/backup/etc. All work great. However, when I turn on my HIDs, I get hyper blinking from the turn signal on the side that has the plug just hanging. Obviously this is because of the resistance or lack thereof from no headlight bulb/the plug not being used. So here's my question, what can I plug in there and get load without just plugging in a bulb?

    Most relay harness' come that way. It is actually probably a defective harness I bet. I don't think it would have anything to do with that plug now being unused.

    Oh really? So you think I got a bunk relay harness with the kit? I wonder what it would do without LED's on that side. Like I said, it's just the passenger side, not both. The driver side blinks like a champ.

    Hmm so are they LED headlight bulbs, or HIDs?

    They are HID's. Turn signals are LED.

    That's odd. I've actually never seen HIDs flash like yours are doing. It might actually be the ballast on that side. If you can, swap ballasts side to side, then try them.

    No, it's not the HIDs it's the blinkers that are hyper flashing.

    Ah gotcha. Probably a defective LED.
