Just use 3m double sided tapeyea, thats what I was thinking, but just not sure as there is little room to pretty much do anything. Would heat resistance epoxy/glue would work fine?

Mine are holding up pretty good. Haven't had any issues. Those heavy duty mounting tape by 3M should work.I have some heavy Duty 3M mounting tape. Might just try it out.
Are yours still holding up. No issue with the heat weakening the glue/tape?
Does anyone know how to do this above? I would like only my outer tail lamps to serve as my signal/running/brake lights along with my bumper reflector LEDs. The inner lamps on the trunk would just be brake/running.There are a few threads on this. As long as you tap into the turn signals prior to where you tapped into the harness for the bumper reflectors, you will get your desired flashing on bumper lights. If you do it after the splice for the bumper reflectors, then the reflectors will just work with the breaks and normal driving (no flicker when signaling).
Ive installed a few sets of these and have done them both ways. You also can have both flash and not have the trunk light flash with the turn signal as well. So the outer rear lamp and the bumper reflector only will flash with the turn. I did this on another members car and want to switch mine to the same way so it's not so "hey look at me turn". Lol. I am the one who posted the video of this mod when it first came out.
My turn signals only hyper flash when I apply the brake lights.Can you expand on when the hyper flash occurs? Is it when the running lights are on and you apply the turn signal, or when you brake and apply the turn signal? Or both?
Glad you got it working. Here is what RxDriver did to fix his issue, sound like the same issue your having.Latest post....
I installed everything with the diode dynamics module. Everything works great - except for when I press the brakes, my turn signals hyper flash. Everything else works fine.
I have a video but it won't load up.
Any idea how to solve this?

Alright. Finally had time to fiddle with this today. This little module is confirmed and it will work with the OEM LED tails. I basically followed the guide of the ExLED Turn signal module install. Instead on this install, all you cut/splice is the brake and turn signal into the input side of the module and then the single wire on the output side will splice into the brake light (inner and outer). I used a 6ohm load resistor and tapped into the turn signal wire with the input wire of the module, then ground it to a taillight bolt on the body.
I would say most people could figure this out in about an hour if you have played with the connectors and lights back there. The hardest part is getting clean connections and wiring that is clean. Let me know if you have questions. For $20, its a pretty quick and easy mod and the company is a great bunch of guys (from Stl :thumbsup.
Did you wire it as shown on his diagram?Any other thoughts?
I can try this again but I wasn't having success.
Make sure to ground the load resistor. The first time I grounded it to the taillight bold, I got the hyperflash which was gone after I turned the bolt a little bit more.Any other thoughts?

Definitely need a load resistor. The tail as turn module uses the turn signal power when not braking (hence no hyperflash as your stock lights draw enough power to not hyperflash). When braking, the turn signal only interrupts the brake light, causing no load on the turn signal circuit and the hyperflash. You'll also notice when braking, the turn signal flashes opposite the front turn signal.Any other thoughts?

Thank you very much for everyone's help!Definitely need a load resistor.

Bottom line is you need a load resistor on the turn signal circuit.

Another point- make sure you wire the resistor ahead of the module, ie the resistor gets power from the stock turn signal line and not from the module.
Ok, rechecked all the connections and cleaned everything up, and all works as normal. No hyper flash in new front LED signals or on rear tail and bumper lights. Brakes on, no hyper flash either.So on my car when the taillights are on and I go to use the blinker it does what is shown in the video but then after blinker is turned off the entire taillight will go off for a second and then light will come back on. Sorry it's early hope that makes sense. I have the exled turn signal mod wired on my 13 sxl.
Mind posting a video. Sound interesting.However, I noticed that my signal do something similar to what ace described. Not the entire light will jump, but just the signal - when I press and release the brakes with the turn signal on. Additionally, my front DS Orange marker lamp flickers at times - not always - with the signal on and off
Glad you got it working! The front flicker may be a loose connection with the load resistors. Worth a check.Not the entire light will jump, but just the signal - when I press and release the brakes with the turn signal on.

I am guessing the flicker with the brake lights has to do with the relay through all the components?
Overall, I am pretty happy with it. Not too concerned with the additional Issues, but I thought I would mention it if anyone has experienced it as well. I am just happy to have it working now.
Thanks again for all the help.
Yea I thought I notice that myself.Glad you got it working! The front flicker may be a loose connection with the load resistors. Worth a check.
The behavior you describe in the rear is normal for the diode dynamics module. What you are seeing is the module switching the way it does the turn signal when the brakes are pressed and not pressed. You'll notice that the rear signal will flash opposite the front turn signal when the brakes are pressed, and flash in time with the front when not pressed.
Sounds like the exLED module works differently, more like a switchback module.
