I have the lm486 flasher but the mirror turn signal won't work when I put LEDs in them

The flasher module only affects the 3157 bulbs in the front and rear. The corner lights and mirror lights will not cause hyperflash.

But to your immediate problem, LED bulbs are polarized. If they don't work at first, flip the bulb around.

Do the turn signals flash properly when the stock mirror bulbs are in place? Also try putting the stock flasher module back in, and see what happens with your LED bulbs. Do you have LED bulbs in your main turn signals as well?

I'd recheck how those bulbs are sitting. I had a sitting issue with a b.s set of 194's simular to those that you have. They seemed to go in correctly but the wire on the bulb wouldn't make contact with the terminal.

If the lights are lighting up, then it's not a contact issue. The fact that they aren't flashing, but staying solid makes me think either an issue with the manufacture of the bulbs, or more likely an issue with the flasher module, since 2 different types of LED bulbs had the same result.

Still need more info though, about the other items.

Ok I'll swap in my stock flasher and see what it does. I had just got the new LED flasher about three weeks so. Or maybe just crappy bulbs. I'll report back tomorrow. Thanks guys

I also have LEDs in the front turn signal and rear it that helps

Did your turn signals behave properly when you had the LED flasher module and everything before you changed the mirror lights?

Also, you can edit your post, when you have afterthoughts like that :wink:
