I'm looking to upgrade the rear turn signal bulbs to LED since I have tinted my taillights. What bulbs are people using that I do NOT have hyper-flash? I do not have Forscan to get around it. Just looking for plug-in-play without any messing around. IMG_3082.jpg

I use these, work great no issues. You can also use regular bulbs and disable the hyper flash with forscan, but these are plug and play. Screenshot_20200924-150532_Amazon Shopping.jpg

Do you have the specs for the regular LED bulb without the resistor? I have Forscan and can eliminate hyper flash.

I just installed these and they fit and work just fine. No Forscan effort needed.

I'm curious as to what people use for LED reverse light and license plate light bulbs?

Installed "these" meaning what? I think you forgot your pic or link. As far as reverse and license plate bulbs, see my pics above.

Sorry, I didn't realize the OP was not showing what I installed. However Post #2 refers to the SyneticUSA signal bulbs. That's what I installed.

Regardless of what the page says, it does fit the Ford Explorer. There is plenty of room behind the taillight for the second plug and the resistor unit or whatever it is. The only weird thing was that although the bulb blinked perfectly it took about 30 seconds for the indicator lights in the dash to adjust themselves. No hyper flash at all.

I installed these and I’m totally happy with them. Turned off hyper flash with Forscan so no need for resistors.

Just curious are those the original exhaust tips or aftermarket?

Anyone know what I need to change in Forscan to disable hyper flash?

It's also one of the easy configs, I just don't remember the exact wording for that. I think it's something along the lines of Turn Signal LED though.
