Buddy Club Tail Lights Hyperblinking
 
I just got a used set of BC tail lights that is hyperblinking. How do I get this fixed? I read that you can get a flasher relay but I only saw posts for relays for switchback turn signals. Would these relays work for tail lights as well?

The relays for the switchback turn signals are exactly the same as the relay for any LED turn signals. You could acquire one of these relays or wire in resistors in your turn signal circuit to fix the hyperblinking. The relay is easy to replace, there's a DIY floating around on the forums on how to replace it.

As mentioned, you will need the relay, and the DIY is easier than swapping out your tails.

Edit: Just an FYI, the lights in the tails are LEDs, so yes, a LED relay will work for them. It is necessary since they draw less power than an incandescent so your car will think the lights are out.

Any LED relay should work, you can search for subaru 8 pin LED relay and pretty much any one that shows up will work. I have this one personally.

The tap turn relay is definitely cool though, and hand built by the seller, I'd check it out if you can justify it.
