Hi there, newbie here on the forum.

I installed today a pair of Diode Dynamics switchback turn signals on my Sport S. I bought their $70 set that includes 2 - 7443 bulbs and 2 resistors. Followed instructions for installation but Im experiencing hyperflashing on dashboard while on the outside the bulbs blink at their normal rate. Any suggestions? I recorded a video (sorry it is on vertical mode).

PROBLEM SOLVED...

I went back onto Diode Dynamics Youtube video and watch it over and over to see if I had missed something.

Then starting to look on Youtube for other "resistors installs" and one thing that I noticed was that everyone was using the pliers to secure the quick splice directly onto the blade and not on top of the "cap" of the quick splice as the guy on the Diode Dynamic showed on their video.

So I went back to try squeezing one more time the quick splice directly onto the blade firmly and BOOM now the hyperflashing on the dashboard is gone. Flashing rate is normal inside and outside.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Glad you got it fixed. Oracle Switchbacks have built in circuitry so the resistors aren't needed (for anyone that wants to avoid that issue) :)
And they're $35 :)
