They are not cheap but they look to be the brightest out there.

Anyone find any better?

This is the exact same unit. The guy selling them on amazon (refer to my earlier post) sends them out quick. I had the new relay inside of a week.

can you use them for the rear signal lights?

Yup. I'm not sure what size LED bulb the rears take, but then you can hook the resistors to the two turn signal wires to slow down the flash rate.

All four are the same.

So would I need to buy 2 if I do front and back?

I think so... I haven't gone to LED in my rears yet. I imagine that without the proper resistance in the incandescent bulbs you would get speed blinking again.

I think those are the Flashbolt 5s right? I bought some off of KI_ZN6 and they're worth every penny. The rears are tricky to get in though. Not enough wire so you have to partially fit the bulb into the housing and then plug it in.

I also have the relay mentioned multiple times in this post and it works like a charm. It's underneath the steering column. You need to pretty much sit upsidedown by the pedals, looking up toward the wheel. From that orientation, it'll be just to the right of the electric motor.

I went with replacing the flasher relay with one designed to eliminate the hyper flash. The only drawback to this method is that it will never hyper flash so you won’t know if you have a bulb out. I am not too worried about it, I figure I will just do a walk around with the flashers on every once and a while.

This was not too hard, except my fat ass and big hands made the job “challenging”. After you pull off the panel under the steering wheel you need to get under the wheel on your back and reach up under the dash to get to the relay. If you are on your back the relay is to the right of the steering column.

It is attached via a clip to a metal mount. You need to get the flasher off the clip or pull the clip out. Once that is done, easier said than done, you just unplug the relay from the harness and plug the new one in. Then swap the clip from the old one to the new one and wedge yourself back under the wheel and stick it back where the old one was.

I suggest you find a small friend with small hands, or even a child, to help. If that is not available then at least get a pair of mechanic gloves to avoid the result below.

I never had to pull any panel. Then again I had to contort myself to get down by the footwell, upside-down, to get to it.
