the light pattern actually isnt all that bad it seems to be alot better then the stock pattern which seemed to be blotchy and scattered everywhere and with these ones they have a pretty nice cutoff line and seem to do alot better focusing the light to where it needs to be. i also ran into a turn signal led problem which caused hyper flashing and my turn signal indicators on my dash stay lit so i ordered a electronic flasher relay along with load balancing resistors which i hope will fix the problem.

You wont need load resistors if you got the flasher..

i know the flasher relay is supposed to fix the hyper flashing but is it also supposed to cure the dash indicator lights also? cuz i have heard that sometimes it wont cure the turn signal indicator lights staying on and sometimes it will and the only lights that are led are the 3157 bulbs and i have heard that you will need one of those resistors behind every led you install for the second gens but im just not sure.

I have a white blazer, and am planning on getting the same lights, but with the black interior. Those halos look great. Glad to hear they look good and work well. Thanks for the information.

the LED flasher I got for my jimmy made the dash lights flash normally.

my dash turn signal indicators stay lit saying i have both sides are out but still flash cuz i know they are working which is why i think i need the resistors to help cure that problem so right now i put back in the incandecent bulbs in the turn signals and everything is back to normal until the parts come in

well good news i solved my led turn signal problem you will need a led compatible flasher relay along with load balancing resistors. after installing my dash indicators are no longer giving me a bulb out indication and they flash normal maybe just a fraction of a second faster then stock! side note: make sure you mount the resistors to metal and away from any wiring or plastic as they do get hot.
