So, I got my LED switchbacks yesterday and tried to install them this morning. Tried the module under the dash first and low and behold, it won't fit all the way down into the slot. I can feel it go most of the way in but 2 of the keys on the top of the plug wont let it slide all the way in. And before you ask, I've tried lining it up directly from the top and still no go. I can get it in to the point where the flashers work and I've also tried the EP34 module from NAPA and STILL no go. I can't even get the EP34 to fit in as much as the DD module. I'm tempted to just break off the keys on the top of the plug but am refraining at this point. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you resolve it?


On a side note, when I was looking at the flasher bulbs it appears that the easiest way to replace the bulbs is to actually pop the headlights out a bit. If there is an easier way, let me know.

Easiest way to change the flasher bulbs is definately take out the headlights. I took mine all the way out. As for the flasher module. compare it to Stock module. If there is anyplastic parts in the way on the module. i would remove them. However with that being said I had no problems putting in my EP34 from Canadian Tire. I have post a video as well. Hope that helps.

 

[abrax894]

Yeah, I saw the video. The plastic that is in the way is actually on the socket. 4 prongs stick up to help align the flasher module. Like I said, I can get the module most of the way in to where it will work but it won't fit down all the way. I wonder if there is a way to remove the socket

 

[FEARtheFOX]

Not that I have seen. From what I have heard through the forums is that there are issues with flashers from different suppliers. Have you compared new Flasher in size to the oem flasher. Just to make sure they are the same.

I had the same problem man but Fox actually helped me through it...the one from diode dynamics does NOT fit!! I then bought one from autozone, the EP34 and it fit within a minute so just go back and try it again and even try to put the stock back in and pull it out and see exactly how it came out to see how the new one goes in...I tried for hours on this and then was told the one from DD doesn't fit, so try the napa one again and it rly should work. I too made a thread like this, u can search for it if that would be of any help

 

[abrax894]

I have compared the one from DD and it looks a bit larger which is why I got the one from NAPA and if anything that one looks larger the the one from DD

 

[Paulst2419]

The EP34 does fit. I put mine in last night. Just make sure the prongs are the right direction and it should slide right in

There are two types of the EP34. I had this same problem that led me to 6 different stores before I found the one that fits. The base of the flasher HAS to be as small as the OEM one.

 

[abrax894]

What store did you end up going to?

 

[abrax894]

Alright guys, I FINALLY found an EP 34 that was the same size as the stock. LED's and HID's installed and running and it looks SWEET!

 

[GRTWHTSHK]

since apparently there are two types of EP-34's, which one fits the Koup? is there a distinction in part number?

 

[FEARtheFOX]

^^^Go to Crappy Tire. That is where I got mine. There should look like this.

 

[GRTWHTSHK]

got my EP34 yesterday. thanks for the help FOX. they have two types at Canadian tire. you have to find the one that's got the writing on the side talkin about LED's. my signals are fine now. it was ULTRA annoying without the module.

 

[WandersX]

Wait.. do you have to take out the dash to install this?

 

[FEARtheFOX]

Wandersx= the dash does not have to come out. You reach up from underneath. Look for my video I posted.

THIS fix is also cheaper than buying a load resistor for each light. $16.xx for the module, $20(each) for the load resistors(at least the ones I saw that were plug and play).

 

[FEARtheFOX]

I think the load resisters are a complete joke. LOL

tag, so i can look at this while in the store haha
