    So I had these LED taillights for my 2010 for over a year and a half. No problems until a few days ago.

    Some days the right turn signal flashes at a normal speed, other times it flashes at a rapid speed. I don’t see what could trigger that behavior other than the built in resistor is whacked.

    I looked at the front and rear turn signals while parked to rule out a burned out filament on the front bulbs. No burned filament on the dual filament bulbs.

    I checked the turn signal stalk and when depressing the stalk to turn left it clicks normally. When I click right sometimes it has an extra click. Not sure if it’s related.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I have the exact same tail lights and this exact same thing just started in the last week happening to mine except only on the left side. Sometimes I can get it to not double click, other times I cant.

    Wondering if I can replace the resistor if that’s the problem.

    Not sure but this is why I hung on to my Oems just in case. Let me know if u change the resistor. Maybe we should talk with Vipmotoz?

    It almost has to be a resistor issue

    My 09 came with stock LED and I had the exact problem with these aftermarket. Manufacturer was no help. Ended up giving-up and moving to stock pink-tails.
