Flasher illumination relay replace with stock or go to super bright led unit?
So I fixed a bunch of ground wires. At least I'm pretty sure they're fixed..
Anyhow my hvac lights started flickering.. Then last night I was driving home and lost my blinkers. So today I pulled the relay opened it up looked ok I notice it has a microchip vs a normal relay thought that was odd.. Anyhow I banged it around a little and then bent the terminals to ensure contact and blinkers are working again. But hvac lights still flickering unless I dim them to level 2. So I'm debating on what relay to get. Oem or super bright led. My only issue is if I go led won't I need to put led in the hvac unit? The sti cluster is led already no? Thanks in advanced for the help.

I have to wonder of what use is having super bright distracting lights in the dash do for you?

Actually he is referring to this site-
https://www.superbrightleds.com/ They sell LED's and accessories including LED-friendly flasher relays to eliminate the hyperflash without resistors when using LED turn signals. It appears they do not have the EP34 type flasher which is what you would need, but those are readily available elsewhere. However- the flasher only affects the operation of the turn signal/flasher bulbs and nothing else so replacing it will have no effect on your HVAC lights. If you think the flasher is bad and you aren't planning to get LED turn signals then just get an OEM or equivalent at the dealer or parts store. |

NVM found the issue.. sometimes I doubt my abilities and look for others options not that I'm not grateful for those. But just take some time and thinking and I'll get it right.
