ok.. i finally finished installing it poop.
yes, it does hyper blink at 22 ohm. dam
im too lazy to go and switch it to a higher ohm. it looks pretty good. hey, mine only hiper blinks when the lights are on, and it's stock when the lights are off. is yours like that too?

yep kind of cool cuz hyperblinkers look ***** in the day time
There are plenty of choices. I couldn't say exactly what spec your looking for. The 15 Ohm resister we tried in Ovadalimits was just a lucky guess. It really is only *bit* faster than stock. Nothing like hyperblinking. I could be wrong about higher resistances equaling slower blink speed. Also, are the resistors your using > 15W ones??
Since you have 2 - 22 Ohm resisters on hand...try this. Try them is series(one after the other) on one side. This will equal 44 Ohms of resistance. Then try them in parallel on one side(side by side)...This will give you 11 Ohms of resistance. If my theory was right, the 44 Ohm config should give you a slower blink speed. Let me know what you find out.
ill try that one day. im too lazy to go back into the bundle of wires and re-solder all that crap, since it's on my car. soldering near your paint can be scary.
I am trying to build this circuit but I havea question. On the third relay which takes the +12v from the battery at #30 and the +ve side marker light which goes to #85. Which +ve side marker light considering the fact that there are two side marker lights. So I am under the impression that these two side marker light - the one on the left and the one of the right - have to be bridged b/4 connecting it to #85 of relay 3.

grnlude97, overdalimit and anybody please help.
the sidemarker light splits up into the two relays....30 of relay 2 and 85 of relay 1. The schematic (the 3 relay one) by grnlude97 requires 5 relays total. 2 on one side and 3 on the other. The 3rd relay acts as a power supplier....so basically u have EACH sidemarker positive wire split into the 2 relays on both sides. I hope that clears it up. The bridging with the sidemarker positive wires isn't what u wanna do. Hope this helps a little....(and i hope I read ur question right and this is the answer u were looking for)
There should be only one relay #3, and whichever side parking light bulb you take power from is cool, doesn't matter. All 85-86 on relay #3 does is tell the relay to power the bulbs when your sidemarker is on, and it just needs to know when your parking lights are on to switch on the power (i.e. relay #3 acts as a switch). Splice into the sidemarker, run it to here, and ground it. Had to re-read your question a couple of times (a bit confusing)...but then again i just woke up. I believe i understood what ur asking...if not, post again
Okay....here is another dilemma. I tried implementing this circuit and it kind of works. It stays on which is great but is blinks wrong. It took me a couple of weeks to figure what was wrong and now I need some help. Keep in mind I am trying to implement this for the 4th Gen Lude.
On relay 3 of grnlude's circuit, the +ve side marker wire goes into #85 and the 12v from the battery goes into #30 of relay 3. This works for the 5th Gen Ludes but for the 4th Gen Ludes, the +ve side marker wire not only stays on but also blinks which f**ks up the circuit. So, is there any other way to do this? Maybe with a switch.
Anyhelp please
Hey genlude that is a problem. If I were you I would use a switch. Either that, or find a wire that is constantly on with the parking lights. The reason that relay is there is so the lights are as bright as possible. So either one of those solutions will work. Goodluck.
After too many weeks trying to understand this circuit and how it works, I finally got it but I hyperblinks. what ohms resistor are you guys using for the relays
mine hyperblinks too but it's cuz i took out the resisters. I bought new resistors that i might try out one day. I find myself reluctant to use the blinkers whenever i have my lights on, and it's starting to annoy me
