I own a set of the L.E.D. tail lamps off of http://tasauto.com and ever since I have installed them, my blinkers blink really fast. Does anyone know why they do this? I have already replaced the bulbs on the bumper lights and the ones in the corner lenses.
I like the look that L.E.D.s create, but the blinking is driving me so insane that I am going to switch back to stock. Any and all input is much appreciated.

 

Glad to hear that you got have the sense to switch back to stock after getting pwned by Altezzas instead of buying another pair. Good choice.

 

Thanks for totally not answering my question. But really though, I switched back to the stock lamps and the blinkers blink normally now, does anyone know how to FIX the L.E.D. lamps so that they will not make my blinkers blink so fast?

 

You have pic of the set you got? I thought the LED tail lights for 94-95 only had LED parking and brake lights? Does it use a regular bulb for the signal or does it use the LED portion? If it uses the LED portion then your problem is that the LED doesn't draw enough current and therefore causes the car to think that the bulb is out which is why it blinks so fast. For a test, now that you have the stock ones back in, take out the turn signal bulb and hit the signal on that side, you'll see it blinks the same way you described when you had the LED Tail light. Either that or you got some wires mixed up.

*Edit* NM, I looked up the tail lights, the problem you are having is that your car thinks the rear blinkers are out because those tail lights use the LED portion to signal. You can fix this in the following manner, Rewire the top portion of the tail light that uses an actual bulb to either be the turn signal OR, get a dual filament socket and use the top portion as your reverse and signal light.

 

Its normal. Back in my ricer days i had l.e.d. ones as well. Same problem. After I went back to the normal bulb, it was fine.

He's talking about the whole tail light assembly, not the bulb

 

The reason the bulbs are blinking is because you need to put resistors on the line. It should tell you on the install manual what size resistor, maybe a 6 ohm.

It's the rear assembly that's causing the issue, The LED Tail lights for the 94-95 use the LED portion for brake, park and turn. The top portion is used for reverse lights, I don't know if putting resistors on the front where there are actual bulbs will solve the problem for the rear LED cluster.

*Edit-Pic for better understanding*

 

I appreciate all the help guys. So Knightmare, I am gathering from what you said that there is not a way to leave the L.E.D. portion as the turn signals, etc.? You said they aren't gathering enough charge, is there a way to give them some more power? Really though, I appreciate all help.

LMAO....thought that was funny... Call T.A.S., they have good customer service.

 

i'd just use a load resistor kit. The reason they're not flashing normally is because the LEDs draw so little power your car thinks the bulb is blown. If you just put one of these on each side of the car like it says to, it should go away. I had the same problem with my LEDs...I just went back to bulbs because I didnt want to hack into my wiring... http://www.superbrightleds.com....html

 

Thanks for the website. I might have to try out that idea...I do love the stock tails though.

 

Yup, get a load resistor or hack the wiring or deal with the super blinking. But you've got options now so explore them and good luck.
