    Correct, no resistors needed after replacing flasher relay.

    I just got my relay today in the mail! That's my project for the weekend... I think I'll start with a few back pain killers right away before bending under the dash! Thanks for sharing your input!

    If I remember correctly, the flasher is directly above the steering column. I'll try to get a photo of mine when I get home.

    I recall the conclusion being the v 'flasher' is integral to the bezel PC board. There is no separate 8-pin flasher as on the hatchback. I never found one, despite busted knuckles from thrashing around up there.

    Go for the relay that does the wig wag and euro signal capabilities.

    Dont think the V has a Turn signal relay at all, its built into some circuit board in the V.

    Yes, that was my conclusion 18 months ago (post #28). Just wanted to be sure.

    Thanks for all the guide. It helped tremendously. Too me less than 10 min to take out the old relay and put in the new adjustable.

    Here are some pictures. Hope it helps.

    Out with the old
    In with the new and test
    Clip back to position

    It helps with my small frame. I was able to lie on the brake pedal and had easy access to the relay.

    Thanks for all the info! Still I have a question.

    With the oem relay if one bulb goes bad there is hyperflash as result warning you to check which light doesn't work.

    With this new led-relay is it the same? Or you just need to check from time to time.

    Just tested and it doesn't hyperflash when I took off one bulb.
