Are these new G4 tails?
I had the same problem with one of my sets and sent it back to be replaced. It's not uncommon. If you're stuck with them I'm guessing the only solution is to get a new resistor for the hyperlashing one.

I will try and find you more info on exactly what I have for you. I replaced mine immediately cuz I've heard mixed reviews on those boxes. Before you wire in different resistors, though, I'd entertain the return idea cuz once you wire in new resistors returning them is not possible.
First, though, is double checking that reverse bulb

I had to send two sets back to revotec ... first set was filling up with water, second set was hyper flashing. Sent them both back and bought the more expensive Anzo version with no issues ... but that could have been a coincidence cause they looked identical, so I'm guessing same Chinese factory.
If you bought them from revotec he's really good about exchanges.

I believe mine are Anzo and I've had no issue either

Ok, then it's a resistor issue. I'd ask for a refund then rather than splicing into the wires. Technically they should work without hyperflash straight out of the box.

Well the stock tails are probably Chinese too 
The resistor can be wired anywhere in the circuit though. You will need to place it somewhere across 12v+ and ground but you shouldn't have to mess with any of that wiring
In fact you should be able to remove the front turn signal and put the resistor there, at least for test purposes.

Actually, now you got me thinking ... I'm not sure because it's been a while since I had these lamps, but I believe the resistor box wires are on little plugs that can be removed. If so, take the one from the working lamp, plug it into the one that's hyper flashing, and see if it fixes the problem.
However, even if that is determined to be the issue, I'm of the opinion that new parts should be exchanged until the seller gets it right, rather than the buyer having to mcguyver it.
