Default Getting rid of hyper flash with LED turn signals

I have a 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 that I want to install LED taillights and turn signals in. However, hyper flash has deterred me for a while. And now that I had two turn signal bulbs go out at the same time, I figured there’s no time like the present to go ahead and do it.

I suppose that I could use load resistors. But because of the van using the bright turn signal filament for the DRL, I am pretty sure that the resistors will get hot and even overheat. That being said, I have been unable to find any other method of stopping hyper-flash as I cannot find any relay or turn signal module that does so. If anybody has ideas or a solution to fixing this, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Conrad.

I bought a LED Relay out of ebay. Just find one with the right number of pins. Mine was for an express 2001 though.

the only problem with this is that my van uses a brake light/hazard/turn signal/trailer lights module. Not a simple relay.

Oops, too bad. You could use the resistors then, and mount them to the VAN chasis.

Can't put the resistor on the wire just inside the body?
