The electronic flasher relay is installed in the place of a thermal type to prevent the hyperflash caused by using LEDs in the place of incandescent lamps. It is a cleaner and simpler fix than installing 2 big honking load resistors in circuit with the lights. OP-You could have done a cleaner install of the relay simply by removing then replacing, but no biggie. wparsons- We probably live near each other, and you are welcome to check out my lighting/mods any time. I am curious still if you will find my HID's unacceptable. Maybe you can install the proper projectors for me too ![]()

Thanks sirhc for the write-up! I just installed mine today. The install really was pretty simple. The only observation I had was that the area where the stock relay sits is pretty tight and you have to give it a good solid tug (after unclipping the top portion) to get it out.

I think when a company comes one with ones that are more of a 5000k or 4300k I'll get them. *hint hint*

When i put the LED flasher relay in my tC to prevent hyperflash it made it so when you hit the unlock on the clicker the lights wouldn't flash. Any problems like that here?

The relay is a b**** to take out. Just a heads up! and don't forget to disconnect the battery before doing so!

Which color is everyone interested in? I was thinking of going with white at first. Maybe the switchbacks and amber is a maybe as well.

This is why I left the stock relay in its place, I unfortunately have a tendency to break those clips so used the open part in the back of the relay to run a ziptie through

fixed my write up and I apologize for what ever reason I was under the impression that the relay was only for the switchbacks. This relay is for any of the LED's and keeps your blinkers from hyperflashing
