What is the solution for LED turn signal flickering?
2 Answers
The solution for LED turn signal flickering can be addressed by adding resistors. Below are the specific advantages of using this method to resolve LED turn signal flickering: 1. This method is very practical and simple. 2. The resistors require a metal bracket for heat dissipation and fixation. LED bulbs have certain advantages over halogen bulbs, the most notable being lower power consumption. 3. LED turn signals replaced using this method offer high brightness, better energy efficiency, and a longer lifespan.
Last time I had a flickering issue after switching to LED turn signals, and it took me several days to figure it out. The root cause was the LED's power being too low, so the car's computer thought the bulb was broken and kept flashing. The simplest solution is to replace it with an LED-specific flasher relay, which you can buy on Taobao for around 50 yuan. Just make sure to get the correct model for your car. When removing the old relay, disconnect the negative battery terminal first. After installing the new one, test if the turn signal frequency is normal. Some people might add decoders or resistors, but I don’t think it’s necessary—this method is the most straightforward. After the modification, remember to check for any fault codes in the car’s electrical system. I forgot this step last time, and the dashboard warning light kept coming on. If you’re handy, you can do it yourself, but for most people, it’s better to visit a repair shop—quicker and safer, and it won’t take more than an hour.
