Can an "LED bulb electronic flasher" mitigate the need for a resistor being added to the circuit?

[fritz]

I just purchased LED bulbs for my new headlights and don't want to wire in a resistor if I don't have to. In my search I found an item call an "LED bulb electronic flasher" and it sounds like I will not need a resistor added to the circuit if I use this item. Does anyone know if this is true?

I've read about these before and that is what I have been led to believe. Now, whether or not they make some that fit the stock relay harness/plug i'm not sure.

Thanks, I'm seeing them just listed as Japanese models. I really don't want to wire in a resistor if I don't have to.

There may be wiring differences. What's the price? It may be worth it to just try it and send it back if it doesn't fit, or even pay the price of knowing.

I should have added this link from the beginning sorry

If I were you I would just buy and try. I've seen that exact product before because I shopped at superbrightleds for my interior white LEDs. Compare it to the stock relay before buying. If it looks the same, try it. Doesn't work?... Return it, return shipping will be very low via USPS.

Take a look @ around 1:00 for "flasher module"


These guys also make something similar.

Problem is, you need to find one that works with the car. If the car has one at all.

Thanks so much, that helps a lot, i'm going to contact them and ask if they know about the 9th gen being able to use these!

Found this on 8thcivic:

See post #10 by GETxERxDONE. Says that the 8th gen doesn't have a flasher relay. I would be willing to bet that the 9th gen doesn't either, especially given the extreme similarities between the two generations.

I had LED bulbs in my flasher/signals, and they would blink really fast. Once I installed an electronic flasher relay, the problem was fixed and my signals flashed like they normally should. I know that this is a method to avoid adding resistors.
But this was on my '96 Civic so not sure how it'll be on our 9th gens...
