Flasher problem after Valenti tail light install!
Looking for some help! I had Diode Dynamics LED turn signals installed on all four corners and installed their CF18 flasher, which is specific for the FR-S to fix the hyper blink problem.
All was well, until I installed a set of Valenti LED tail lights. Now, when I turn on the turn signal, the opposite side signal blinks faintly, and my climate control lights blink as well. It does not seem to occur when I have my head lights on, but quite annoying otherwise. Any ideas? I have not tried re-installing the stock flasher to see if the problem goes away, but figured I'd get the hyper-flash back if I did. |

I had a problem with my relay that came with my Buddy Club tails. The left side would keep blinking for 3 more blinks after I turned it off. The right side was fine. I replaced it with the flasher relay I got with my Diode Dynamics switchbacks and the problem went away. I think you probably just got a faulty relay, so just ask for a replacement. Diode Dynamics has awesome customer service so they'll replace it quickly.

The Valenti already have resistors built in and are designed to work with the stock flasher unit. Use the stock flasher and install universal resistors for the front turn signals. That should do it.

I have Smoked Valenti's and front LED bulbs for my flood and indicators. The relay that came with the LED's makes them operate normally (slightly slower) but no anomalies.

I'll throw the stock flasher back in. If the hyper flashing comes back, I'll just put the stock front turn signal bulbs back in and source some resistors for the LED's. Thanks. |

That did the trick. Connected the stock flasher back up. Got the hyper blinking with the front LED's. Put the stock front bulbs back in and all is good. Now I just need some in line resistors for the LED bulbs.

Ya. They are out of stock right now on the 7443's. I'll just wait until they are back in Stock and pick up a set of switchbacks too!
