    Hello Everyone, before anyone mentions it, I did search and I found potential solutions but after trying them I still have an issue. Forgive the thread if not necessary.

    I installed LED headlight bulbs and LED fog light bulbs when I got the truck and they've been amazing.

    Ever since I got on this forum and (kudos to you) seeing MESO's work, I was absolutely in love with all the accessories. Unfortunately everything I want is sold out. SO, that brings me to this next point, I hated the Halogen turn signals in the front and felt the tail lamps lacked brightness and seemed weak. I ventured into buying LED bulbs for reverse/parking/brake LED lights for rear and LED turns for the front.

    As soon as I installed them, I was in love with the result, however, I was getting Hyperflashing issues when using the turn signal. After researching here, I found resistors was the answer. I installed 2 in the front turn signal and 2 in the read "turn signal" as well. Hyperflash was gone and I was a happy camper.

    After the daylight savings time came into play, heading to work at 6am its still dark out and I noticed the hyperflash is back when my headlights are on. I'm stumped.

    DRL's do not affect it during the day. As soon as the fog's or the headlights are on, the hyperflash is back. Someone please help me figure this out, im losing my mind with this lol. Can't stand the rapid clicking noise and I don't appreciate not using turn signals haha.

    One thing to note, I'm about to also install and tap into the DRL wiring for the "raptor" grill lights. I have the kit but I'm waiting to resolve this issue first and make sure that doing this install wont further my issue or bring it back..

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Much Love.

    FYI - Resistors are 4x 50w 6ohm resistors found on Amazon. They worked, but not with the headlights.

    Try removing only 1 set of resistors. Also try 10ohm

    Where would I find this? I feel like Amazon only has 50w 25ohm resistors. Would that work? Or should I really try and find the 50w 10ohm resistor. Sorry im not an electrical savvy dude. Also, Which set do I remove? The front? Leave only 1 pair in the back, the 10ohm ones?
