HYPERFLASH with load equalizers installed
I have a 2012 Unlimited Sport and recently installed front led turn signals. I wasn't paying attention and grabbed a set of 20W load equalizers. My turn signals would blink normal 3-4 times the go straight into hyper flash. I ordered a set of 50W and installed them today. Now I get 7-9 normal blinks before is starts. Any ideas on what to do now to get rid of the hyper flash completely? Thanks

Anyone know the correct wiring?
I've put in led's in the rear. And immediately got hyperflash on all 4 blinkers.
I'm going to install resistors tonight. But I don't know what wattage they will be.
I've seen 50W ones on most of the "how to's" online. But my real concern is tapping into the wrong wire(s)
I know the black is ground. But on the taillights, there are 3 wires.
Some of the "how to's" online say to tap the brake light lead, but that makes no sense. Shouldn't you tap the signal (blinker) lead?
Are there 3 wires on the front turn bulbs?
BTW- LED's are polar, so they should only ignite when installed with the correct orientation in the socket. ( + to -) (Try pivoting the bulb 180 degrees and re-insert in socket)
I don't think that is the OP's issue, but worth checking.

This will depend on what size of resistors you get, if you get 1/4 watt resistors then they will get very hot and they are really small, if you get 50 watt resistors, which is what I have seen recommended for this, then there is a larger space for the heat to be dissipated and they shouldn't heat up as much.

It says only on that wire because the brakes and turn signals are not on as long as the tail light filament. The resistor would overheat if connected to the tail light.

I just started having this same issue. After almost two years of great performance, my left blinker started hyperflashing last week and I don't know why. I have fender led's, tail light led's and front blinker led's all with load resisters installed. Is there anyone that can advise me on how to get this fixed? I can't tell where to start my troubleshooting.
