Deleting blinker/DTRL

I just installed new retrofits and plan to use the halos as DTRLS and Blinkers; however, current the blinkers hyperflash unless the old bulbs are plugged in. The problem is, I don't want the bulbs hanging around lighting up my engine bay and I don't want them in my headlights.

Is there a crafty way to delete or black out the bulb so it's plugged in, but not visible?

 

you need a load resistor for LED blinkers

 

What he said or just grind down the resistor loop you already have to increase resistance. There is a write up on here that explains it in detail where somebody wanted to install LED DTRL and did this to get rid of his hyper flashing.

Edit: here it is, should work for you:

Just install the grey plastic jumper block on the back of the fuseblock. The part number is 82671-30360. It's about $8 from the dealer. Then you can use the Diode Dynamics SmartTap CF18 Flasher. No more DTRL. No more hyperflash, and a cool flasher that does other cool stuff. The coolest thing is the nighttime illumination while you're walking to your house.

Load resistor. Or you can just tape the oem bulbs with electrical tape

 

Picked up a resistor yesterday but haven't wired it yet. Will see if that works. Won't electric tape just melt? That MFer already burned me once. Look - i'm not opposed to just spray painting the bulbs black...

 

Did you change your blinker fluid for summer?
