    Did you get the load resistors?

    That should fix the hyperflashing.

    I tried going without the load resistors and I made it a few weeks before the hyperflashing started. Bought the kit and no more hyperflashing.

    So when yours hyperflahed would both turn signals illuminate?

    I don’t think I ever checked the front turn signals. Both rear turn signals illuminated but they would only hyperflash until I installed the load resistors.

    Yeah, I meant the back ones. Like I said the driver side won't illuminate so maybe the resistor will fix that. I was wondering if something could be going on with the wiring on mine.

    Hmm yeah I’m not sure about that, sorry. I never had an issue with them not illuminating, just the hyperflashing.

    There are a ton of threads on Meso stuff so if you search around you may be able to find an answer. Meso himself is also fairly active on here so you could always tag him or send a message.

    Did you try switching the bulbs from right to left ? Just want to rule out a defective bulb that way.

    Yes and the bulb does work on the passenger side.

    If you have a test light - confirm that you have 12 volts at the factory harness before you plugged into it. Then work your way back to the Meso socket ??

    Regardless of the one bulb working or not, if you’ve got hyper flashing you’ll need the load resistors. I needed them and I’d start there. Then install them and test the bulbs. You could always order a replacement from MESO if one is bad, but I’d do some wiring tests as well if you know what to look for
