Will Triple Tail Light Cause Vehicle to Look Like Dance Floor When Blinking

Question:

Hello. Quick question for you. I need to replace my current tail lights that have incandescent bulbs. The easy solution would be to use Bargmans triple light that also comes with incandescents. However, I see currently its available only in the vertical setup, not horizontal, and I need horizontal. So, my question is - if I were to switch to LEDs, should I expect my turn signals blinking way too fast? You know, the kind of fast blinking when you have one bulb out, and the whole side of your vehicle looks like a disco dance floor with strobe lights every time you make a turn at an intersection. Thank you very much for clarifying!

The Triple Tail Light will likely not cause one side of your vehicle to look like a disco dance floor with strobe lights every time you turn - also known as hyperflashing - as fun as that may be to some people, though it is less likely if you are using these on a trailer.

If the hyperflashing does occur there is a solution simply by using Load Resistors # DI34ZR which are designed specifically to stop that type of flashing.
