Correcting Hyperflashing After Installation LED Taillights on 2004 Dodge Ram 3500
Question:
When I hit the brake, it slowly blinker flashes. Also, hyper flashes like a strobe when I hit the brake. Im installing LED lights. Do you have a cold diagram to wire the 4 wire into 3 and stop the hyperflash?

In order to stop your turn signals and brake lights from hyperflashing with your LED taillights, you will want to install LED Light Bulb Load-Resistors on the turn light and brake signal wires.
Hyperflashing is a common issue when changing incandescent bulbs to LEDs. One of my fellow Experts put LEDs on his Dodge 2500 and ran into the same issue. He used the #DI34ZR Load-Resistors on his truck to solve the hyperflasing issue. I've attached an installation video of these load resistors on a vehicle with separate wiring for you.
Wiring a 4-wire system to a 3-wire will not prevent the hyperflashing, but the load resistors will take care of this issue.

Hi, I installed a flatbed on my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 which has LED lights compared to the front incandescent and the turn signal were hyper flashing. I brought it back to the place that installed and they tried wiring in resistors but didn't work. The only thing they could get to work was get the old light set from my truck bed and wire them back in and zip tie them up under the flatbed. I'm not so fond of that idea, so wondering if there is a different way to make this work. Is there a plug and play resistor i can use to make it think the old lights are still in or what do i need to do to eliminate the old lights underneath the flatbed. Thanks

Ive got an 03 dodge 2500. I bought a new led tail light assembly and also changed the front turn lights in the headlights also. Now heres my problem. I wired up the resistors to the turn light wire and ground on every light. When i turned the blinker on everything was working fine. No more hyper flash. Turn right blinker on both front and back working. Turned left blinker on both front and back working. Hit the brakes they worked. Turn running lights on they all worked. So instarted putting the tail lights back in and decided to check one more time. Well this time nothing worked other then my running lights. The left blinker barely even lighting up. The right blinker is hyper flashing. Any ideas about what could be wrong. Im trying to get some answers before cutting everything to redo it. Any ideas
