hows the relay going for you? is there a lag time when your turn signals switch from white to amber or the other way around?

What concerns me is the solution to fix the hypher blink using the relay, it has some sort of lag time when the light switches from white to amber or vice versa. I've seen videos on this forum and others where it shows this lag. Now, these videos were posted a couple months old even a year, Im not sure if most vendors have fixed this but is the lag due to the bulb or relay being used or both?

The lag time between the white and amber is normal, this is apparent on all LED switchbacks and is not caused by external components, it's within the bulb itself.

that relay under the steering wheel. IS it really THAT hard to pull out? I feel like im going to break something. All you do is just pull down right? and the clip will pop off? sorry, i had a rough time installing, and one of my led's wouldnt fully light cause for some reason when i got them, only 1 full worked.. :[

It's super easy. Just got for it. All the panels just pop into place.

Thanks for answering the question. Now time to look. For some led packages.

I had the same issue and a glitchy led.. I'm waiting on new lights as well.
Now does yours stay in with low and high beam?
