    So purchased some used VLED’s from a member here and after I installed them I got about 10 minutes of use out of them. One started hyper flash and did not work. (I’m not upset about that, it’s the risk you have when buying used electronics) but it took me a while to get around to changing it.

    Left signal had the hyper flash. Right one worked perfect and did everything it was supposed to do as a switchback. The other night I heard a click and my radio and dash lights got brighter like I turned off my lights. Checked, headlights and fogs operating normal, but now i have no turn signals or DRL. put new bulbs in the front today with same result.

    Before I go yanking fuses and chasing wires, has this happened to anyone else before? I drive a lot for my shop and having no turn signals I feel like an asshole turning and merging around the metroplex

    Replace the turn signal lamps with the Proper Bulb.
    Then check / replace the blown fuse for Turn / Hazard lights labled "TRN_HAZ" located in the under hood fuse panel.

    Sounds like a blown fuse. There’s also a fuse box behind the tray, left of the steering wheel, beneath the fog light switch area. For me, I kept blowing the 10A Tail:

    I also had one of the wires sheared from when I had ghetto t-tapped resistors. I had to crimp that up.

    I currently have the V6 Triton’s Amber front and back signals. Took some trial and error, mainly because I installed them MONTHS after purchase and forgot they were front and back specific. It’d be a good idea to buy extra assorted fuses to keep in the glove box.
