Hey everyone,

I just installed ANZO tail lights, and now when i put on my turn signal, it blinks super fast. Has anyone ran into this problem?

 

I ran into this problem today, but not with the Anzos. This is what happens if you don't have your turn signals connected or if you are using bulbs which use significantly less power than the stock bulbs. For example, if you use LEDs as your turn signals instead of regular bulbs then this will happen. For me, I disconnected my front turn signal bulbs, and when I used my turn signals, the rear ones blinked twice as fast (and the dash display too). But when I reconnected the front turn signal bulbs, then the speed went back to normal.

 

So just unplug and replug?

 

Naw, that's not what I'm saying. For me it happened because of unplugging, so the solution was to plug it back in. If you use an unsupported type of bulb or no bulb then it will blink fast like that. What type of bulb dod you have for the turn signal in the Anzos? I assume it's not the same as the factory bulb?

 

"LED bulbs may cause some newer vehicles to indicate a bulb is burnt out (because of their low power consumption). Some cars indicate this by increasing the flash rate of the turn signals, some turn on a bad bulb indicator. The only fix for this is to install Load Resistors across the bulbs that are being indicated as bad."

In other words, the rapid flashing is like your car is saying "hey, a bulb is missing or burned out". As noted above, the solution is to install resistors.

 

Using leds have nothing to do with it. all cars turn signal blink fast if u have a burned bulb or if there is a short. just double check all ur conections and bulbs.

 

Yes it does have to do with LEDs. LEDs use much less power which makes them look like burnt out bulbs as far as the car is concerned.

 

where can I find a load resistor for the tail lights? Also, has the anzo brake light problem with the 07's been fixed? will the other led tail light fix on sl fix this problem?

 

i was about to order these... maybe not now... haha good luck with the fix man/~

 

I have Eagle Eyes which are an eBay knockoff of Anzos. Each tail has a plug-in load resistor box. If you have the boxes make sure they're both plugged in or you will get the rapid turn signals.

I also got the rapid blinking when I had a turn light connector plugged in backwards, which is easy to do since they fit either way. Just unplug, turn it around & plug back in.

Yours might be different if you have true Anzos, but hope this helps.

 

those are the ones I have

 

FYI.... ANZO's = Eagle Eyes... same exact lights, no knock-off's.

 

So do they have a fix for 07's?

 

Arent they exactly the same?

 

idk, apparently there is a feedback issue or something... i don't really know what that is

 

I had the same issue as well...did you have the connections backwards? I plugged mine in the wrong spots, meaning I plugged the brake light in for the turn signals. All that happened was it blew a fuse and was blinking really fast, and my front turn signals were off. Just make sure everything is correct and check your fuses

 

But i thought there was an issue with the 07's

 

yea just try different combinations by flipping on plug, then flipping another. Usually thats just the issue. Same thing happened to me, twice...

 

you have an 07?

 

me no... but this sounds like the same issue... check it out...
