I just did an LED conversion of my entire car. I fixed the hyper flash condition by opening the stock flasher and replacing the metal bar inside with a.22 ohm resistor. I tried replacing the flasher with a Novito (aka Tridon) EP34, but that only made things worse. Hyper flash was worse. Hyper flash fixed with.22 ohm resistor in stock flasher. Everything works fine with parking lights off. The problem comes when parking lights are turned on. Turn signals do not operate at all with parking lights on. Hazard light work no matter if parking lights are on or off. All bulbs are changed to LED even dash lights. No load resistors installed, nor do I want them. It defeats the purpose of installing LEDS. I have read all over the forums to fix hyper-flash would be as simple as changing the flasher not so in this case. Now I have a totally different problem. Need help please.

I fixed the problem finally. I replaced the metal bar in the new relay(EP34) with a.22 ohm resistor and all worked fine. No hyper-flash and no load resistors hazard lights work with parking lights on. Sorry I didn't take photos of the final repair, but I did take a photo of the EP34 and one of the stock relay. OEM relay was also made by Tridon. I looked up the data sheet for both of the relay's. The OEM had a Motorola UAA104B and the EP34 had a
Unisonic technologies U2043. Comparing the two circuits I found the latter to be more simple. That's when I decided to remove the metal bar on the new relay(that was supposed to work out of the box with LEDS, but didn't) and replace it with a.22ohm resistor. I noticed there was a comparator on board the chip.
