If your into HID's you should DEF go with these. http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/T...-p5846227.html Cost more but worth it in my opinion. They are all I lack from having everything LED or HID on and in my truck =D

Did you put them in long enough? 10-11 minutes @ 200* was enough and mine separated with a slight twist of the screwdriver

Wonderful, except one problem: if you put these in they will work but they will hyper flash too, already wasted $50 on this, couldn't get them to flash correctly. FYI

Not if you have an LED flasher? Or, just wire some resistors in series with each light (though that's a bit more ghetto)... Maybe a 20 ohm resistor?

I don't have LED turn signals

Wait, are the 08s the ones that give problems with the LED turn signals? Either way, a resistor should fix it, but as I said, that's a bit ghetto...

Ask and you shall recieve. The $15 flasher from Advance is what I have.

Hyperflashing before I bought the electronic flasher:

Yeah mine didn't wanna seperate so I had to reheat them again and it finally came apart. The second one was much easier though once I figured out the technique.
