Buddy Club Version 2 tail light Issue
In the Buddy Club instructions that come with the tail lights it claims that 2017+ cars don't need to install the provided LED relay switch.
I installed the tail lights on my 2017 brz and the sequential turn signal mode doesn't work. But the normal non-sequential mode works fine. Here is a video of what the sequential mode turned on looks like with the factory denso relay switch installed. https://imgur.com/Q5W4ctN I contacted the shop that sold me the tail lights to see what sort of feedback they are getting from other 2017+ customers. Their reply stated that 2017+ needed the buddy club relay switch installed and the sequential function would only when the hazards are activated but not when using the turn signal. So I installed the provided buddy club LED relay switch and the turn signal does not function at all whether in sequential mode or normal mode. After some hunting a found a guy in Korea that showed that both turn signal and hazard sequential functions should work at the same time on a 2017+ car. Here is a video showing the sequential function working for turn signals and hazard mode. https://imgur.com/mVNoPZy So what exactly needs to be done to get the sequential function to perform normally? |
Sounds like you need a new LED relay. Try that first

I'm actually having almost the exact same problem with the ft86speedfactory headlights. non sequential works fine, sequential+hazards works fine, and turn signal+sequential gives hyperflash. I'm pretty damn sure that I need a hyperflash relay

or Are you suggesting that the Buddy Club LED relay that came with the tail lights could be bad? my issue with the Buddy Club relay seeming like its broken is that the instructions state pretty clearly that the 2017+ year cars don't need the relay. I remember seeing a thread a while ago that mentioned the wires in some tail lights need to be switched to have sequential functions work properly with north american cars. But this was an old thread and they where talking about an older style of lights. I can't seem to find that thread unfortunately to compare if this is the same issue. |
Interested to see if you figure out what causes the issue. I was so close to ordering these today too and by chance you posted this today while I'm searching the forums about it.

It sure looks like hypeflash. I would order a cheap aftermarket non-hyperflash relay and see if that solves the problem. less that 10 bucks. |
It looks that the ON time from the relay is too low

I had the same problem with the original Buddy clubs, the stock relay and the buddy club relay and some other one didn't work either...I went back and forth with FT86speedfactory with different relays until they sent me a highpower one. That made everything work correctly on my 2017.

sorry, spelling error. I really dont know the brand, but they told me it was a high power 150 watts one. I just installed it and never really checked. They probably have it on their website.
