Location of turn signal flasher?
Anyone know where the flasher units are for the 5th gen? Putting in some LED turn signals and don't want to bother with load resistors.
I looked in the fuse block under the hood and also the block on the inside of the drivers door. Perhaps I overlooked it. I found an old thread for 4th gen Camaro's, and it looks like the flasher unit is buried in wiring under the steering column. Hope that is still not the case.

Its built into the computer programming, there is no physical flasher module like on cars of old.
You'll have to install some load resistors. But its worth it. I have LEDs all around, and I love them.

The clicking sound when the turn signal is on comes from the drivers door speaker. Open the door and get the ding ding sound the turn signal click stops. I guess it can only produce one sound at a time. LED's work great with resistors added. The flasher upgrade for LED's is what I wanted to do, but not possible.

I've chosen to deal with the fault messages instead of installing heaters at all four corners.

The resistors don"t seem to get that hot compared to the heat of the OEM light bulb. Besides the bulb out message, the turn signals will flash very fast with just the LED's.

Here's a little more info about the load resistors:

I seem to be having the problem with the bulb out as well as the fast flashing on my left side. How fo I correct this? I installed the afterburners myself and also will be installing a new pair of plasma fog lights with a dry harness.

Has anyone had any luck with a plug and play resistor?
I was looking at this product, which appears to be a plug and play resistor. Anyone have any luck with something like this? Seems like it would work great...
http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Warning-.../dp/B00BLZ7WLS Really want to do a Full LED Conversion but dont have the know how to wire in resistors. Also dont want to splice into a brand new cars wires. |

Those don't usually work for the Camaro (wrong load).
We have a plug-n-play version that does work, or, one that connects via quality t-taps. |

Spyder led tail lights
I have spider led tail lights that have been in since last July ,just recently I have a error code check turn signal bulbs but bulbs are fine ,what could after 10 months of no problem cause this to happen I unplug the battery but only for about a couple minutes should I wait longer and try again ,spyder says the resistors are build in on these

LEDs draw less current, the body control module thinks they're out. I live with the
warnings. I could program that on on my VE Jettas with VCDS. Too bad there isn't a tool like that so you can access the BCM and make changes. |
