Question TOM's tailligths problem

Hi,

2 days ago i finally took delivery of my GT86 .
Yesterday i installed the Tom's tailligths on it,
but now when i put my indicators on they light up for a second or 2 before they start blinking.
Does anyone know how it comes that the indicators ligth up for 2 seconds?
And how i can solve it?

( I installed the relay that was included with the Tom taillights so that isn't the problem)

Have you tried a different "LED" relay? Could be an issue with the relay.

FYI, my TOM's have a slight delay, not 2 seconds though.

it might be less, 1 second or so, but it has a delay.
But if this is normal, i don't mind it that much.
thanks for the reply.

I have the clear toms with USDA wiring, but I'm not seeing a yellow light. Even my ten signal appears red. Am I crazy?

Clear Toms and USDM red Toms have red turn signals. JDM red Toms have amber turn signal.

Great, that clears it up. As to repinning yours, I know there's a guide. PM me if you can't find it and I'll look tonight.
