Default Will the LED relay work for our vehicle?

Looking at switching my turn signals to LED. Instead of buying the LED decoders will swapping out the relay work instead?

TIA.

I use these for my turn signals. No relay swap needed and no hyper-flash.

Do you have them in the front and back? Also if you just use them in the front can another led (as the rears are mounted funny and I think that powerful of a light in the rear may be too much) be used in the back since hyper flash is already addressed?

There no swap-able relay in the 4GS, the relay circuit built into the dashboard controller.

The V3 will cure the hyper flash. You will need one per side and they work perfectly. Actually the controller box of the V3 are resistor inside, install the fuse will activate it.

Once you installed the front you will want one for the rear so get them both to save on time & shipping.

What onexcite said!

I have both front and rear. I am in Mississauga if you want to meet up and check them out. Install wasn't hard at all. Rear is easier than front since there's more room.

Where does the "control box" end up with those? I keep picturing it just rattling around loose, but that doesn't seem right.

That's quite a costly solution. Any reason why this wouldn't work?

Plenty of room in the trunk/engine bay to secure it. No flopping.

Shot of the trunk. Module is behind carpet, tail of the zip tie is where it was mounted.

Engine bay under the plastic cover.

Should work. With the Triton V3, resistor is built into the module.

It will work and it getting really hot quick. The controller box for V3 come included with the bulb set so there no need for extra resistor, and it square so easier to mount and only warm to touch if you leave your signal on long enough.
