Question:
Do you have a 4 or 5-pin flat to 7-pin blade round adapter with built-in resistors? My 2001 Chevy Suburban doesnt work with LEDs without resistors - hyperflashing. I intend to use to hook up to Hollywood Destination E bike rack LED safety lightbar.

Hey Victor! What kind of connection do you have on your 2001 Chevy Suburban? I know the Hollywood Racks - Destination E Bike Rack Mounting Light Bar # HLY89RR uses a 4-way to connect. If you have a 7-way on your Suburban you can use the Curt 7-Way to 4-Way/5-Way Trailer Adapter # C35FR.
If you have a 4-way, you will also need the Hopkins Plug-In Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Blade # HM54RV. You will plug the Hopkins adapter into your vehicle 4-way, then the Curt adapter with resistors into the 7-way end of the Hopkins adapter. There are no 4-way to 4-way adapters with resistors built in so this is the only plug and play option.

Hey Victor, did you have a chance to try the adapter setup with your Suburban and the Hollywood Racks light bar? I'm curious to know if it helped with the hyperflashing issue. Your experience could really help others facing the same problem with their LED setups.
