    Bought on here for $140. Worked fine for a week and then the passenger one caused my front and rear blinker to flash real fast. Probably just a loose wire or something but didn't feel like messing with it. Asking $100 shipped

    Hyperflash is pretty easy to address, DD Smart Tap or VLED resistors among various other solutions.

    Resistors are the old-school way, nowadays you can buy a new flasher unit that way your LED conversion uses less power instead of also powering a resistor to apply the same load as the stock halogens. At least, that's how it works in the Suzuki DR350S community

    ^^

    New flasher: DD smart tap (note DRL complexity, I have no DRL on my truck so i haven’t done the reading about options for those who have DRL.)

    OR

    Add resistors (VLED VLR series are high quality, 25’s or 15’s if needed, try 25’s first.

    NBD either way.

    Not that you need to keep these aftermarket taillights by any means but it’s worthwhile to at least understand what is happening. From what you posted, there is no reason to indicate a loose wire.
