[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 456645, member: 18877"] Hmm... I suppose it's possible that switching all lights to LED could limit the hyperflashing... however it would mean that the flasher is highly controlled by the ECM. A typical replaceable flasher is a mechanical switch similar to a relay. The on / off switching is the sound you classically get when you activate your blinker. With the much lower resistance of LEDs the power that goes through the switch is increased causing it to hyperflash, or activate more often. In a TJ they used the standard flasher that can be replaced. I'm unsure how common it is to have a separate flasher in any vehicle after 2007 when the JK came out. We all know how hesitant jeep have been to add new tech to wranglers until pretty much all other vehicles built practically have said new tech as standard. I'm fairly certain that most vehicles these days.. if not all... have to simulate the flasher sound as it is no longer a mechanical switch. I'm unsure where JKs flasher sits on that scale. [/QUOTE]
