where the diy hyperblinker for the ex
i was trying the diy hiperblinker. then realized it was for the lx not the ex. i tryed it at first it all the blinker did was stay on....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Here is the link for the DIY. He did do it on his lx, but it will work on the ex. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is if your car is a sedan or a coupe. No one has figured it out for the sedan yet. Just follow his directions because they are very good. I did this mod myself before on my own (i have an ex) and it works perfectly. Just make sure you use 133k resistor because anything lower than that is just too fast.... hope that helps...

Rep Power: 0 what watts should we use (1/2 or 1/4?) I bought a 100k ohm resistor and 1/2 watts. Is that gonna be too fast? And where can I buy 133k ohm resistor? I tried Radioshack but they got none. Only 100k then 200k. Also at 1/2 and 1/4 watts. Help

Rep Power: 0 use ¼watt being the whole blinker relay is very low current... the ½watt will work too, just it's a bit bigger and might not fit inside the housing.
Finding a 133k resistor at radio shack can be near impossible. I eventually had to go to a huge electronics store that carries 10x the stock of radio suck, and I still didn't find a 133k resistor. They only had 150 and 120.
FYI, when you put 2 resistors in parrellel, like my DIY says, you are basically lowering the totall resistance going through the circut. I wouldn't advise this, but it's the same as taking off the 133k resistor, and replacing it with like a 66k resistor.

Rep Power: 0 If I were ready to sit down and do some calculations, I could tell you the exact blink rate... but I'll just tell you what it looks like.
The lights didn't have enough time to dim half way before turning on again.
They were almost to a point that they were on solid.
you can always play around and see what you get.
