i just ordered a set of the IPCW LED tail lights for my 03 monte carlo... i am worried that i will run into the fast blinking problem that comes with aftermarket LEDs.. for anyone that has the LED tails already installed, what did you do or buy to prevent the fast blinking? i keep hearing about resistors and such, but dont know a thing about which would be the right one or how many i would need to buy. any help would be appreciated. thanks all.

 

I'd say connect them up first before you worry about a problem that you may not have

 

they make heavy duty flashers to fix that problem, or resistors as well, but check it out first and see if you even have the problem

 

I just got mine and mine flash fast when i turn the turn signal on...i need answers for my problem

 

yeah i bought some a week ago and put them in and had same problem so i took them out. its blinks like one of the bulbs is out. i know that the rear blinkers and the front blinkers are on the same circuit and when one goes out it causes the other to blink twice as fast to compensate. i dont know what to do about this either but aint to concerned.

 

led turn signals require you to run load resistors on each turn signal bulb. the led pulls less power and the cars computer thinks the light is out. so it makes it blink faster. you can buy them at any auto parts store or online

 

I have LED tail light also but the only time they blink fast is when I have a led bulb in the front turn signals. If I put a regular bulb in the front headlights the rear blink at a normal rate. I have LED turn signals in the front and back so they blink fast but I guess I don't mind it.
