Default Trouble With Hyperflash on aftermarket headlights

I’ve got a 2014 5.0 reg cab xl and around September I put on
these these
headlight housings, they’ve worked fine and looked nice until earlier this week, I was driving home and turned my right turn signal on and it started hyper flashing, I got home and checked bulbs (all good), i checked to see if somehow it was the housing(put stock back on) and nothing changed, im waiting on my obd2 to usb cord for ForScan but im also worried its wiring, anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?

edit: the bulbs themselves are not hyper flashing bc they’re not flashing at all up front, the brakes however are flashing super fast

Thanks in advance

So, the bulbs light up, but do not flash?

yes, they will light up but when the turn signal is switched on, they won’t flash at all in the front

so.. is it just one side ? or both left and right turns ? you turn the signal on and the cluster hyper flashes but a solid light up front ? what are the rear signals doing ? do the emergency flashers work correctly ?

so it’s only on the right turn signal in the front, the arrow hyper flashes on the cluster and the light on the right stays solid, emergency flashers I’m not sure on, I checked but don’t remember results, I’ll look again tonight

Check the wiring. Make sure a pin didn't come loose and isn't making contact.

Make sure you get bulbs with resistor included, where possible. I have 2010, just went through this.
