    I do not understand the idea. Each bulb is advertised as 28W. Does it really take 2+ Amps? If so, it is even dumber idea than add-on resistor. Putting all the heat into LED chip base :crazy:

    I agree, another member said he used these and had no problems, maybe it was a different model,
    Going to see what happens with the
    $10 CF14 flasher Relay for Turn Signal Bulbs (1 PC)
    CF14 flasher next

    I have done the OEM relay resistor mod:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/led-hyper-blink-mod.664617/

    And I have the EP-35 that I recently moved to cause TLDR the thread above, less variables and less heat (I still don't like its blink rate though).

    And then you have to post this beautiful adjustable version- on my birthday of all days.

    I seriously have NO NEED for another relay- I have an OEM one on an 04 body ECU I need to put in for the door unlock TSB the 01 has. I have the OEM one I modded. I have the EP-35 one in there now. AND YET STILL, THIS FU*$#N FORUM LOOKS AT MY WALLET AND SAYS, "BITCH, YOU'RE STILL MINE" AND RIPS MORE CASH OUT OF IT!

    F8ck this forum. Can't go a day without seeing something I didn't need to do become a 'need to do'. I hate all of you.

    I've found you can get on your back and just reach up in there, feel around and get to it.

    From Lasfit themselves.

    "1. Since these bulbs built-in Intelligent Temperature Control, if you use for a long time (a few vehicles maybe 2-5 minutes, it depends on year/make/model and temperature) may happen hyper flash, please turn off and cool 1-2 minutes, they will work properly again."

    Seems to be the case?

    Also:

    "Safety Protection
    Load MINI fuses to protect the bulbs and your cars against the instantaneous high current. Safer installation and use."

    AWESOME1, did that new flasher you posted on August 4 fix the issue? i may have the same problem on my son's truck. we installed new LEDs, and tried an LED flasher, but the lights only worked for about 5 minutes, then they cut out. thanks.

    I had a similar issue when I swapped mine. I replaced the relay thinking it was a faulty relay. I then tried ordering a Can bus plug in regulator. It's just a plug n play. Costs like 20 bucks on Amazon. Not sure if this helps. Helped me.

    Can you post more specifics on what you bought? I'm not seeing anything at first glance on Amazon.
