    Okay, so I put some led bulbs in the tail lights on my 2000 grand prix and I had hyperflash. That quit after a couple times and they work as they should, but now it blinks between the signal on my dash and the light that shows what gear I am in. It also makes like a light saber sound not instead of the click of a relay. Anyone know what it is?

    Hyperflash can't just go away. Get an EP28 flasher and solve your hyper problem.

    I figured out why it quit. My drls are disabled and instead of hyperflash the blinker indicator and gear selection light will flash back and forth. When I turn on my headlights it hyperflashes. Just caught me off guard when it quit hyperflashing. Must have gotten bright enough when I was screwing with them that my automatic lights shut off affecting how it flashed.

    That is not normal. You have other issues going on.

    I put the stock bulbs back in that night and everything was fine and has been fine. Got the ep28 and tried that with the leds to only be greeted with hyperflash once again. Idk what's up with it.

    I have the same thing going on with mine...when I push the brakes the dash lights come on and flipping the right signal flashes all corners...but that's only if my drls and all lights are off. Gonna get an ep28 and hope it goes away.

    What make/brand of bulbs are you guys using? If you both reply with "e-bay/Chinese", I know what the problem is. LOL

    Pilot. Got them from o'reilly. Another member helped me figure out what my problem is though I think. I bought the Napa ep28 and he said that I should have gotten the Napa ep28l. Maybe all ep28s are not equal in the sense of handling led lights.
