Hyper flasher relay questions
Hey I know this is a stupid questions but for those who are running led front or back turn signals. What hyper flash relay unit are you using? Ive bough my from Vled in Bellingham and hey are great but the delay of my turn signals working properly is kinda getting to me now. Any suggestion on which unit to use that doesn't have a delay when initial turn signaling?

that also comes with most aftermarket taillights so if you're planning to upgrade those you could kill two birds with one stone.

You get a hyper blink relay with aftermarket lights but it doesn't address the turn signal delay. TapTurn does exactly that and more. Amazing product.

If you've replaced your taillights and installed a new flasher relay you should still have a slight delay when you put your turn signal on. Perhaps you haven't noticed it?

If you're ok spending $100+ on the little tiny $10 part that's customized and programmed properly, then yes Tapturn is great. I'm a tightwad sometimes so I can't justify spending the money on one when the one that comes with the Tom's tails works, even though they have an annoying delay. just turn the blinker on sooner is all I do.

I used the toyota relay off amazon (part number in video) for the past 4-5 months with no issues. I have led tail signal and stock front signals. Check out my video showing the delay which isn't bad at all. [ame]http://youtu.be/4ivLIQetWEo[/ame]
I also have one showing lock/unlock function. [ame]http://youtu.be/8pUW0x4squc[/ame] |
