    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.

Where is the RELAY located for the turn signals?

New 2017 G80 Owner ....Trying to install led amber turn signals The 2017's have an 1157 socket (1 positive contact and 1 ground contact )with a 2357 Amber bulb utilizing the brighter turn signal filament only. Not a big deal so I ordered these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PHRU5C4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The socket does have 2 wires, so I wired in load equalizers as well to take care of the hyper-flashing. The only problem I'm having is the led's don't fire at all! nothing ...nada. I tested the led bulbs with a 12 v battery and they work just fine, nothing wrong with them....nice and super bright. And I know he load equalizers are working because there is no hyper flashing even with no bulb in the socket... funny thing is, I can pull out the led and pop in the incandescent bulb, and it fires right up!! I have swapped out leds ( using load equalizers) in other vehicles and never had a problem so I'm not sure what the deal is here. Maybe the circuit board sensing the difference?...I'm thinking the load equalizer would take care of that. I don't understand why they won't light, the power is there for the regular bulbs....I'm stumped... Anyone have good luck doing an led swap? Any suggestions as where to go from would be appreciated...Thanks!

Hmm what type of load resistors are you using, tap's or 1157 socket adapters

I have looked in the manual and in the fuse panels, but can't seem to find the relay for the turn signals.:confused:

Any ideas??
It’s under the steering wheel panels. Directly above clutch pedal, it should be a blue a red and black wire black box, plugged into the relay, which is mounted to a small metallic bracket by a 10mm bolt.

🤔 What clutch pedal? 🤔
