Blink 3 times
Why flash 3x during lane changes?
Older cars have a certain charm—simple mechanics, fewer computers, and easy-to-mod electronics. One underrated upgrade that fits perfectly into that philosophy is a 3x blinker flasher relay, also known as a lane-change flasher. It’s a small mod that adds modern convenience without changing the character of the car.
A 3x flasher relay solves this by automatically flashing the turn signal three times with a light tap of the stalk, then shutting itself off. It’s intuitive, safer, and just feels right once you get used to it. You pull the factory relay, plug in the 3x version, and you’re done in minutes. It’s one of the easiest “why didn’t this come from the factory?” mods you can do. It adds a modern feature without adding complexity. No apps, no modules, no software updates. Just smart electronics doing a simple job well. A 3x blinker flasher relay is a functional upgrade that improves daily driving without sacrificing simplicity.
Other notes
-
194/168 LED Bulbs CANBUS Error Free (all the smaller lights, parking light, dome, license plate, etc)
-
50w 6ohm load resistors, I have used these before, they get really hot, but they work. Eventually moved to all CanBUS error free LED Bulbs and removed the add-on load resistors.
Diode Dynamics SmarTap™ CF18 – Programmable Flasher relay
A direct replacement for all CF18 (LM449) turn signal flashers, the SmartTap™ fixes hyperblinking and adds additional features like one-touch signaling and unique hazard functions. Programming each mode is simple with the help of the included programming guide and the use of existing vehicle controls.
