FAQ

Q: How to Fix Hyper Flashing for LED Turn Signal Lights?

A: Hyper flashing is where your LED turn signals blink faster than your stock incandescent bulbs did. It's one of the most common issues people face when replacing their turn signal lights with LED bulbs. Using a load resistor to fix hyper flashing is a simple and effective solution. Another method that how also works is replacing your turn signal relay with an LED flasher module, though this is not applicable to every car.

Q: Why are my LED headlights flickering?

A: There are quite a several reasons why your LED headlights are flickering. CAN-bus issues, bad LED bulbs, power issues, or wiring issues can cause your car’s LED headlights to flicker. If you have just replaced your halogen lights with LED headlight bulbs and are having flickering issues, it is possible that there is a decoding issue, especially on sensitive cars. You can try to fix it with a CANbus decoder that corresponds to the plug mode.

Q: Why does my LED headlight bulb only flash on one side?

A: We suggest that you can swap the driver's side bulb with the passenger's side, which could result in one of two things.
The first is that if the flickering problem remains on the same headlight bulb after the swap, the probability is that it is because there is a problem with this one LED bulb and you can apply for warranty service in order to replace the bad bulb.
The second is that if the flickering problem remains on the same side (driver's side or passenger's side), then it could be a wiring problem or a decoding problem with the car. Decoding issues can be tried with the CANbus decoder. However, running comprehensive diagnostics and addressing wiring issues will require a professional mechanic.

Q: Do I need to purchase a CANbus decoder with my LED headlight bulbs?

A: Please note that most of our LED headlight bulbs are CANbus error-free designs that work well with 99% of vehicle systems, with No Errors, and no Flickering. However, there are some sensitive models of vehicles that may require a CANbus decoder, but this is known to be after the LED bulbs are installed.

Q: When replacing OEM bulbs with LED bulbs, what models may require a decoder?

A: Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Infiniti, Jeep, Lexus, Mercedes, Mini, Mitsubishi, RAM, Volkswagen, Volvo

Q: After upgrading the LED headlight bulbs I only have the decoding issue on the passenger side, do I need to install a decoder on the passenger side only? Or do I need to install the decoder on both the passenger side and the driver side?

A: Even though only one side is experiencing decoding issues, since the headlights are controlled by the same system, we recommend installing them on both sides after purchasing the decoder.
