On rare occasions, converting a VW Bus, Vanagon or Late Eurovan to exterior LED bulbs can cause unusual turn signal behavior—such as hyperflashing or failure to flash.

No worries — we’ve got a fix!

For the small number of vehicles that experience this issue, we offer a simple resistor kit designed to restore proper function to your turn signals. This easy-to-install solution ensures your LED upgrade works smoothly and reliably.

Resistors and instruction…excellent. Chris and Mike in Customer service are top notch with follow-up and help!
Thank you,

Resistor Disaster

I purchased the LED bulbs from Go Westy and the front turn signal bulbs did not work properly when the lights were on. I got the resistors as they were described as being able to fix front turn signal issues. I wired them properly according to the instructions for my 87 Syncro, and when I hit the turn signal I heard a loud pop. A fuse blew but also my starter started running madly. I removed the rosters immediately and put the old bulbs back in and they worked fine. After conferring with customer service, it was recommended that I replace the ignition switch and GW got one to me next day. I got that in and now… not only does the starter run constantly, but the solenoid doesn’t disengage. So, customer service told me to take it to a mechanic. In two weeks, I have that appointment and no less than $500 worth of electrical analysis. So be careful. I’m not going to say these resistors for sure caused the problem, but it’s quite a coincidence that everything went kablooie immediately when I did. Btw, every other LED bulb that GW provided works great without any resistors at all.

Really is an easy fix

Switched out all the ext bulbs for LED and loved the results … except my 84+ Westphalia did have the rapid signal issue. Ordered the resistor kit and this easy to install and inexpensive (great quality) solution was perfect. Thanks GW.

Great Fix for an Annoying Issue

This little kit provides a great fix for an annoying issue:
After upgrading my turn lights to LEDs, which I love, the turn signals didn't "blink" when the headlights were on. Simultaneously with the headlights, both the front turn lights switch on for better visibility to other cars. However, the turn signal just stayed on and got a bit brighter on the side where I wanted it to indicate a turn by "blinking".
Otherwise, with headlights off, everything worked fine.
So, this easy-to-install kit provided the solution and fixed the issue. Finally, I got road-save turn lights again, even in the dark.
Thanks GoWesty!

Fixed the issue

The resistor worked and the signals now flash correctly. The flash tempo is slightly higher than stock. Be sure you thread the resister wires through the boot first (as per instructions) or you'll have to push the piggy back connecters through the boot instead.

May not fix your problem

This is a great kit over all. Although, I had NO issues with my incandescent lights, the LEDs will not work completely on my Front Turn Signals. My Hazards work and signals work, but NOT when I turn on my marker lights. They light up but barely flash. I tried using the resistor kit to no avail. Remember, we have 40+ year old wires running through our vans. The LEDS may not always work properly. These vans aren't wired for LED equipment.

Did the trick for me

The Install was great and easy and it solved the issue that I had with my turn signals after installing LED lights. It comes in a set of 2 and I would recommend.

Fix my blinkers

I procrastinated doing this upgrade for a long time and when I finally did it fixed all my blinker issues

Fixed my issues after the LED exterior upgrade

I would recommend this if you have purchased the LED exterior and are having issues with the front turn signals while your drivers lights are on.

Updating my last review

I had trouble with the front turn signals not working when I turned on the running or headlights. I added the resistor kit and no change so I figured the kit did not help my. But Taylor at GW reached out after asking a tech and suggested I try swapping the power leads to the turn signals and running lights. That did it and now people know where I am going. Thanks.

You should buy it with the LED upgrade kit.

If there is one thing I have learned when working on my van it is if GoWesty says “you might need”, you will need it. This allowed me blinkers to work after upgrading to LEDs.

Do you need one resistor for each blinker light on the car. That is 2 for front and 2 for back?

GoWesty

The blinkers are side specific, so you only need to install the resistors in parallel with the front turn signals. You do not need to install them in the rear.
