Hyper flashing LED Signals Only with Headlights on?

[Ellis32198]

Hey! I know this subject has been exhaustively discussed over the years, but I have not been able to confirm the next step for a solution.

What I understand about retrofitting turn signals with LEDs:
- Obtain and utilize AlfaOBD to designate low impedance bulbs, or
- Use inline resistors to equalize impedance on the circuit(s)

For my application, since I don't have Windows or Android-based anything to use for AlfaOBD, I went with the inline resistors. All signals work great until the headlights come on (either auto or manual), then hyper flashing begins again. Returns to normal flash shortly after headlights off.

Does this mean a second inline resistor is needed for each rear circuit on the ground and second wire?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you'll need a resistor for the high and low portion of a dual filament turn signal bulb.

Are you dealing with only changing LED's in the front or has the rear been changed also?

Both front and rear have been changed. Front LEDs came with a single resistor for each and installed. Rear LEDs did not have resistors accompany them, but I purchased and installed a single resistor for each side.
