Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Enhanced SmartTap CF18 LED Flasher Module by Diode Dynamics by Wade Brooks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full functionality in 2018 Subaru Forester

Installed SmartTap CF18 on my 2018 Subaru Forester with front and rear LED turn signals. There is no Hyperflash and all SmartTap features work great. Installation: I was able to install SmartTap without removing any panels. If you lie mostly on your back and have your head in the footwell on the driver's side, you can see and reach the factory signal relay. You can also turn on the alarm to locate the old relay by sound and touch. However, make sure to turn it off before unplugging it. The relay "hangs" on a plastic bracket. If you insert a small screwdriver into the bracket on top of the relay (engine side), you can press the latch and slide the relay towards the trunk, releasing it. From there you can turn it off by pressing the three tabs at the same time. Installation is the same process in reverse, but much faster. It was a cramped and frustrating setup, but it was worth it. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

Pros
  • Turn Signals
Cons
  • Some bugs
