Have you ever thought about why there’s hyper-flashing?

It’s because of the burned-out light bulb in the turn signal circuit of your vehicle. It sends a signal to you so that you’ll be cautious of the steps to be taken.

So if you’re experiencing the hyper-flashing issue, keep reading the rest. We will discuss it in detail.

Hyper-Flashing — What Is It?

If the turn signal blinks at a faster speed compared to the normal rate, it means hyper-flashing. The vehicle sends a deliberate signal when there’s a bulb failure in the turn signal circuit.

Hyper-Flashing — How Does It Work?

Electrical resistance is used in creating light in the standard bulbs (there aren’t LEDs). Once you switch on the bulb, the filament will create resistance. It will then create light and heat.

If there’s a burned-out bulb, there’ll be hyper-flash because of low resistance.

When you replace marker lights, tail lights with standard issues, or LED upgraded turn signals, you might experience hyper-flashing.

The best way to solve this is to ensure that LED lights stimulate the standard bulb’s resistance that you’re replacing with.

LEDs — How Do They Work?

Resistance is not how LEDs create light. There is little to no resistance with LEDs. When there’s a lower level of resistance, it is detected by the burned-out bulb.

This would result in LED hyper-flashing. The LEDs have resistors that will stimulate the standard bulbs to avoid this. Thus, it offers the resistance required for your vehicle.

Here are Some Methods To Troubleshoot

If there are hyper-flashing issues, you can try out the following methods:

1. Aftermarket items might affect the circuit of the turn signal.

This issue comes up when the added upgrades of the LEDs focus on the bulb’s resistance to work properly. You will find this with front turn signals of LEDs with small resistors.

You might get LED taillights along with additional resistors. It must work properly, but they are designed targeting taillights only.

So you might require a large enough resistor to serve the turn signal upgrades of the Front LED. This applies to other modifications that rely on the resistance of your vehicle.

It might not be a taillights issue, but if you experience hyper-flashing, it could be because of low resistance.

2. If your vehicle is overly sensitive.

This is a rare case, but there are instances when your jeep might be the reason. We suggest checking the stock light for hyper-flashing issues before concluding anything.

If there are no issues with the stock lights, but you are experiencing hyper-flashing in your LED lights, the problem is different.

We suggest talking to an authorized dealer to solve the issue. If required, you might have to reinstall the stock tail lights.

Are your tail lights hyper-flashing?

These are produced with an additional resistor that offers enough resistance to power the bulb-induced system.

But you will find differences in the vehicle systems based on the model and year. So there might be changes in the resistor requirements.

Certain Jeep JKs from early 2008 and 2007 models are overly sensitive to the required level of resistance. Till now, the manufacturers have accommodated the required sensitivity by offering adjustments required for hyper-flashing problems.

Is your Warranty hyper-flashing?

The problem of hyper-flashing in LED taillights might be due to several reasons you can’t control.

Even after taking necessary measures and doing whatever possible to solve hyper-flashing problems, if you still can’t sort it out, then be it.

Due to this, the hyper-flashing problem doesn’t fall under warrantable conditions. If you don’t find a way to solve this issue, it’s recommended to return the lights to the authorized dealer.
