Load Resistors to Fix Rapid Flashing LED Lights
Published 07/06/2018 >
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
The problem is the trailer lights, either LED or incandescent have the same resistance as the light bulbs in the BMW. Adding 50% more load makes the flasher respond faster. A more HD flasher could compensate for the extra load and slow down the flash.

Expert Reply:
The LED taillights often have this hyperflashing issue. To solve it, you simply need to add a load resistor like # DI34ZR. You will need one resistor for each side and this kit comes with 2. This will draw more power from your system so you won't get that hyperflashing. I've attached a diagram on correctly installing these load resistors.
