    BY chance would anyone have a turn signal with lens off a ARB bull bar? Smashed one of mine and I cant justify having to fork over 50$ for a new set. Thanks!

    You can put a WTB Thread in the 1st gen marketplace to ask also. If you haven't already.

    If so, I do. I just replaced mine with LEDs.
    I can send one or both for cost of postage.

    2strokerush,

    I sent off the old signal lights from my ARB
    Post Office said you should have them by Friday.
    FYI these LEDs is is what I replaced them with.

    Do you guys know which led bulbs will fit in place? Just wired up my signals and they draw too much power

    Thats why I want to replace them with leds haha from what I read a lot of people have had the same issue where the arb lights when hooked up are having a fast signal indicating a problem with the blinker. I read to either run a relay or run leds

    I have the hyper blinking now in my LED turn signals. But just ordered a new blinker relay to replace the oem, which will normalize it. It was $12

    That's because of the shitty wiring they give you. I had to redo mine several times before getting an adequate enough connection to stop the hyper blink.

    They basically give you one ass hair's width of wire, it's pathetic.

    Thats interesting.

    I understand that it is the reduced resistance to current flow through the LEDs that trips the computer into hyperblinking them.
    That is why a common remedy to hyperblinking LEDs is to wire a 5ohm? resistor into the LED power or ground line connection.
    The computer then reads the LEDs as drawing what a normal incandescent turn light bulb would.

    I also understand that the thicker a wire is the less resistance it offers to current flow.
    And also that a better wire connection theoretically increases current flow.
    Not meaning to be a smart ass, how did this work for thunderone to stop his hyperblinking? Anybody?

    Yeah their wiring is shit, my right side blinkers work great. I bypassed the connectors on the other side because they didn't work well, rewired it twice, and still get hyperblinking.

    I didn't mean with LEDs. I was having poor connection issues with the regular bulbs. Maybe that was the other persons issue. Not sure what he meant by "too much power" though

    That
    Thats it. The lights weren't hyperblinking it was the fact that there was no connection that caused the hyperblinking.
    So fixing the connection got them working.
