    What are your thoughts on this, oh wise one? Seriously, you're the first one that came to mind:D

    First of all I can confirm that if you run two incandescent bulbs and two LED, the stock flasher will not go into hyperflashing mode. Fot quite some time I was driving with all LED tail lamp and front incandescent turn signal bulbs and stock flasher. I guess a load from one LED and one incandescent bulb is enough to not detect burned bulb yet.

    The other statement about EP35 causing front LEDs to not turn on indicates that there was som problem with connection on the front. Maybe front LEDs did not contact the socket correctly? Maybe bad ground? Some other wiring problem? There should be always a continuity between rear and front turn signal. So if tail work the front must work too. Unless the front ground is bad.

    Would there be a ground issue if the system is working with?
    I did try flipping the Led sockets around, no charge, no light,

    The lights are working these two ways now with no hyper flash.
    1) all 6 incandescent lights =working=stock flasher or LED flasher
    2) all 6 lights working, (2 LEDS, Tail lights work), (4 front incandescent light works) =stock flasher or LED flasher

    It just came to me that I have an aftermarket tow wiring harness,
    So maybe that changes my equation and had better stay with how I have
    it setup with the stock flasher, 4 incandescent lights up front and 2 LEDs
    in the rear for the trailer lights to work.

    make sure you have a harness rated for LED, I had that issue with "bleed over" when using standard trailer harness. The resistors inside the harness box are looking for the load as well so it does not back-feed.

    Did not occur to me to ask about that :). These things change simple stock wiring into a nightmare.

    This is 99, but the same is in previous years:

    You see that front and rear are powered from the same junction connector, so if there is any magic, then obviously it is not your circuit diagram - trailer adapters can make funny things.

    In Poland trailer adapter is much simpler as we do not have flashing stop lights in lieu for turn signals. So the trailer adapter is basically a whole bunch of micro relays, each one controlled by corresponding bulb in a car, and one fat power wire that powers all circuits for a trailer. These adapters never mess up with stock wiring - each relay control is separate circuit plugged in to corresponding bulb in a car.
