[DIY] Fixing the LED turn signal initial delay

[lxsedan]

I had replaced my flasher with the one from diode dynamics but still has that initial delay. I dont' even remember where I put my original one. Think this will work on the diode one?

The initial delay is the problem with that flasher's design, so no, messing with resistors won't fix it, not to mention that flasher probably doesn't even have a shunt resistor to begin with.

If you can't find the original factory flasher, then your only option is to buy a new/used factory flasher and mod it, or to buy a TapTurn module.

Darn it, I was hoping to not have to buy anything over again to fix that small annoyance. Tapturn is nice but wouldn't wanna spend on that.

Hey guys. So for clairification.. (I bought this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F282699867948)
1. The oem flasher, once modded.. will it correct the slow response time for my new bulbs(link above) white led to switch to Amber once the turn signals are engaged?
2. What if down the line, I decide to sell my car and wish to revert all the led bulbs back to factory... what effect will this mod have to the original flasher relay when the oem bulbs are put back? will there be any problems?
