Jlevisw/Bimmian LED turn signal question!

campbelly · 04-12-2010, 11:12 PM

i recently purchased these LED turn signals and they came with relays so that it wouldn't throw any codes..the install was pretty straightforward but on one light, the wire that they said to splice was not the same color..so i counted and noted exactly where the wires were on the other side, and worked from there...one side seems to function properly, but the other blinks very very quickly (not sure if the relays make it fast or not)..i am now getting a bulb warning light and cant figure out what to do about it..i tried switching around the wires and splicing different ones but it doesnt help at all..do you think i could have gotten a bad relay? thanks for your help

Hi there,

Does the bulb out warning go way after you activate the turn signal? If it does not, it means that the resistor was not tapped securely or into the correct wire on that one side.

I'd open up the tap connector that came provided and double check to see if it was spliced through completely
