  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

2015 Ultimate started hyper-flashing when signaling a left turn yesterday. Front amber colored turn signal/Driving light was toasted. It appears that the bulb is wired to light both filaments when driving or using turn signals. If that's the case, I doubt the bulb will have a much longer lifespan than about 30,000 miles of mostly daytime driving.
I see that LED replacement bulbs are available and am wondering if anyone has replaced the incandescent bulb with LEDs. If so, has anyone experienced hyper-flashing of the directional lights, due to the lighter electrical draw of the LED bulbs?

There are aftermarket parts to adjust the timing of LED replacement bulbs used in the classic turn signal circuit (RC timing). Some new cars are now using an SS relay to flash turn signals and do not require any changes (not sure if the Genesis has this or not). Lobsenza could probably answer this question.
