G5 tail light help

[soulsea]

That box it NOT a resistor, it's a flasher.

It may have other electronics in it but the resistor is in there, otherwise it wouldn't hyperflash without it.

Serge,

Do your G5 hyperflash? And did you add a resistor? or did you just took them out of the box and plug them in? Sorry for all the questions now since Fast55 says there are no resistor in them.... Thanks

I have G4s now, but neither these or the G5s I used to have hyperflash.
And yes, I just them out of the box, glued the resistor to the back of them, and plugged them in.

If you re-read the original post, the OP clearly states that he has hyperflash without them ... logic dictates that whatever else may be in that box, resistors are a part of it.

If you dont mine me asking, why do you have the G4's now? And since you had the G5's are they really noisy like ppl say they are?

 

[soulsea]

I swapped to the G4s because I prefer the curvier lines of the lights and appliques on the Yukon to the more angular lines of the G5 lights and corresponding appliques.

And I heard no noise when I had the box glued on the sheet metal inside the bumper under the tails, I hear it a little bit with the box glued to the tails themselves. It's been about a month so I don't notice it anymore though.

Sounds good.... Do i get to the sheet metal when i have the lights off the light housing or do i go under the bumper and get to it that way? Thanks... Just want to make sure when my lights get here next week i have an easy install and know what the heck im doing....

It's hard to describe but really easy to see once you take your tails off.

Basically it's the metal just below the bottom of the tails.

Cool im sure i'll find it once i take them off and just put the box underneath.... Thanks you been lots of help... Now that I think about it, it would be eaiser to put the box to the lights, so it can be easier to take them off like you stated on a earlier post.... do you have them on the lights now or sheet metal with the g4's?

 

[soulsea]

On the lights ... when I swapped them I realized that it's a lot easier when they are on the lights.
