Hyperblinker

[Forum Bot]

Link to original forum thread *Disclaimer* This DIY requires willingness to solder in very small and exact area. Not recomended for the beginner. But if you are willing to do this, this project can cost you anywere between $0.00 - $0.75, and time. Will save you the $28+shipping hyperblinker.com charges. Needed supplies: - solder + soldering iron - #3 phillips - nimble hands and needle nose pliers - 100k ohm - 150k ohm resister. you can try different values, but I wouldn't suggest anything smaller than 100k *smaller the numer = faster blink 1. remove fuse pannel for easy access, requires phillips 2. Find and remove Blinker relay. Watch out for the 2 tabs, bottom and top, spread and pull. 3. Now open up the relay housing. 4. find R1 on the pc board... notice it's the smallest resistor... get ready to soder! 5. Now that you have sodered your resistor (I used 150k ohm - 5 finger discount from Fry's) in paralell with R1, I used electrical tape to protect the exposed components and just laid the resistor flat. 6. Before you seal up the caseing, go plug it into your fuse panell and test it out... Hurray, you now have a rice, I mean hyperblinker! Now go show off at the races and remember, fast blinker = fast car Update: I took the 150k off and instead wired some 30 gauge wire off the 133k and cut a hole in the top of the box and wired it to a 200k potentiometer. For those of you who don't know what a "pot" (potentiometer) is, it's basically an adjustable resistor. So a 200k pot will adjust from 0 ohms - 200k ohms. This way you can make your blink rate anywhere from almost normal to circut board frying fun fast. Here's a pic installed.
