    Was trying to find the cleanest way to correct the Hyperflashing. The DRL/Turn Signal Hyperflashing when signaling. I was thinking the Morimoto HD Resistor and using T-Taps.

    Also sequential plugs, thing I could cover them or just leave them hanging?

    hmm Under the hood some areas may get more water than others. I use these inside the cabin so I don’t cover them. I’d say cover them just in case.

    So snip, T-Tap and some grease. Isn't the grease just to keep moisture out? Never figure that one out. When I was having issues with my HID's a little dielectric grease on the connections fixed the problems.

    I guess I could grab these adapters if the DRL fits and try to make a Plug N Play thing. Have to see if I can get the connectors separate.

    Why snip? Isn't that the point of these? Every tap I use that's like that, I fill the voids around the wire w dielectric.

    Do the 20s have LED turns? If so I wonder how they solved the issue? On my old F150 you could change the computer settings with a tool called Forscan and eliminate it because LEDs were a factory option.

    Also for the T tap no snipping it cuts through the insulation itself. However, I'm not a fan of them. If it were my truck I'd make a small harness out of male and female plug and put the resister in there so you don't need to cut the factory wires.

    Factory / Aftermarket. I had VLED V6 Tritons before and no hyperflash. Just started with these headlights. I know some in conjunction with tails will cause it.

    Snip for the resistor with the connector and terminal ring.
