Default LED HyperFlash comes and goes !??

Installed a set of LED bulbs into my front turn signals today, and as expected I have a hyper flash. The weird part is that the hyper flash only lasts after signaling 3 or 4 times then it flashes normally. It's done the same thing after getting out of the truck and back in three times today. I plan on doing the resistor fix one day this week when I get the time, but I'm curious as to why the hyper flash is only temporary ? I know there's no flash relay in these trucks, but it's almost like the computer figures out the lights aren't out.

Mine did the same thing, the cure is to install load resistors. I bought a pair of these https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...g-fix/190/831/

You need one for each side, .. word to the wise, bolt them to the sheet metal behind the headlights so they can dissipate the heat better.

I installed some Spyder LED taillights and everything was great for 2 weeks. Then 2 days ago, I installed an HID conversion kit using oem ballasts, harness and bulbs. The next evening after driving around all day my turn signals started hyper flashing. The weird thing is that they only hyper flash when I apply the brakes. Even weirder than that, it doesn't do it all the time. And sometimes it will start out blinking normal then hyper flash a few times, then back to normal... Just keeps alternating. The only consistent thing about it is that it only does this when the brake pedal is pressed. I can go half the day with no problems, then all of a sudden it starts doing it. Any ideas???
