OLM switchback turn signals issue - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

bakilman · 08-04-2014, 08:02 PM

I'm noticing with these turn signal LED bulbs that when I turn either side turn signal, the opposite side bulb will flash off for about a second and then light back up white.
Is anyone else experiencing this with these, or any other brand's, bulbs and if so what have you done to fix it?

Thank you

For anyone who may have seen this, I went with a different brand of LED switchbacks and don't appear to be having a problem anymore.

I had an issue similar to that. When one bulb was blinking, the other would strobe like crazy even after the blinker wasn't one. What brand did you go with?

Try to swap the bulbs for stock see if it still happens or try to swap out your flasher relay

The stock bulbs work fine.

Do you have a led relay?

It sounds like a circuit problem with the switchback LEDs. Our customers have been using our A-tech Switchback LEDs and they are quite happy with them. If you reinstalled the factory bulbs and the problem is gone, then there is likely an issue associated with the LEDs.

Another thing to look for is the flasher module. If you have not upgraded this part, then you will experience flash-blinking turn signal LEDs. If you have installed a new flasher module with the LEDs, disconnect it and ensure that all the PINs are properly aligned and have full contact with the connector.

I have an LED flasher module as I have the LED rear blinkers. So it was probably the switchbacks I had before. Any suggestions to some good switchbacks would be nice.

We recommend our A-tech Switchback LEDs and you will find them listed under Scion FR-S lighting products (front turn signal LEDs).

Feel free to send us a PM or email if you need assistance or more information.
