    I put led bulbs in the tail lights of my 08 dcsb and now the turn signals flash really fast. Should I be concerned? Thanks ahead of time for ant info.

    It replaces the stock flasher relay, in non-DRL applications. The flasher relay is located on the backside of the under-dash fuse block.

    Very cool. Much easier than wiring up resistors.

    A little something every chance we get.
    It's a PITA. Have to remove the lower dash, foot rest, side panel, and door sill. Then, loosen the fuse/terminal box, and it's on the BACK.

    20171221_133800.jpg Lower dash has to come off

    20171221_134620.jpg And the door sill

    20171221_132620.jpg Son is smaller and more flexible

    20171221_133504.jpg It's the BROWN relay I'm sort of pointing at.

    I got my relay at Amazon, our small shops didn't carry them.

    Make sure you get the correct flasher. With DTRL and without DTRL are different. I don't think anyone makes a DTRL flasher for LEDs.

    If you want to eliminate DTRL and install a LED type flasher, that's a whole nother discussion.

    Replacing everything worn, broken, and rusted.
    So the front turn LEDs don't hyperflash until you change out the rears?

    Also, where do you push to pop out the relay?

    Got this done today after dash disassembly.
    Bought this flasher relay

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0786CQ2QN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    and these LEDs.
