The resister we used on my ride or yours when we installed the dark tail lamps was for the LED reverse upgrade.

The one method were you solder a resister across each LED bulb never worked for me. The bulbs appears off but my battery would die after 4 or 5 days.

I abandoned that idea until I get that ready made harness. Maybe at CamaroFest!!

Phastek will have the harness as well others. I really like the harness from Phastek.

Ownwers Package

I purchased my 50th AE the beginning of March this year. Since reading about the owner's package I am supposed to receive, I went on the Chevy website and asked in chat when I might expect to get it. After having to explain what that is, providing my VIN, and telling them yes I am the original owner; two and a half months I'm still waiting. Does anyone have a better way than chat to expedite this?

I would suggest double checking the connections and bulbs. If still hyper flashing then disconnect the battery for 10 minutes. Reconnect. And test again.

I did change the reverse light to LEDs. I used the GEN5 DYI harness. It only hyper flashes when I use the left turn signal.

This is the harness we are all talking about. Phastek sells them as well. It is for adding LED reverse lights.

http://www.gen5diy.com/Gen6-Camaro-R...mp-LED-Harness

You only need one. Most people put it on drivers side.

Here are possible causes for your hyper left only blinker....

1) Bad connection. Verify all connections again.
2) Could have the harness plugged into wrong bulb. Verify it’s on the reverse light.
3) The new left tail light could be faulty.
4) There could be a grounding issue check wiring/connections.
5) Because it’s LED sometimes the canbus system gets confused. Have you done the battery disconnect for 10 mins?

Did they have any time/speed restrictions on Verts because of no roll cage? I don’t remember but I thought it was somewhere around 12.3 seconds or 115 MPH (not real sure on the speed). Just curious.

It never came up. Helmets were required, but no mention of roll cage for higher performing verts.

Interestingly enough, there were more verts than coupes. Two 6th gen verts, five 5th gen verts, including two triple black ZL1s, one 6th gen coupe (ran 12.3) and four 5th gen coupes.

Finally back home and I had this waiting for me.



Didn't realize how thick it was going to be.



Thank you Chris Frech.

That's awesome. I may have to try my hand at it someday. I'm just too chicken.

I'm sure each track have their own variations. Helmets are a must regardless.

although I am not the biggest fan of the wickerbill, it looks awsome. Well done.
