Spyder headlight hyper flashing left turn signal

Bought a pair of spyder projector headlights to replace my xenon assembly on its last thread.
After installation I tested the lights everything works but the left signal is hyper flashing. Replaced all left side bulbs and checked contacts everything is fine. I'm lost any advice thank you!

Mine does that on the right. Switched bulbs around no change either. From what I’ve heard and read some aftermarket headlights bmws don’t like or some said there’s buildup of coating or what not on wires. I’ve just learned to live with it since all the bulbs work but if there are some ideas out there when I get a free moment won’t mind trying.

Might be one of the relays they use.

These lights aren't the best for wiring, mine were completely wrong and not one part worked right. I took it to my fathers and he rewired the lights and now they work fine.

Isn't there a resistor across the signal bulb? Pretty sure I just reattached or I had to add it and it went away. Been a while though.

Do you know which resister? There is a slim one and a big cube?

On mine they were slim metal ones right across the bulb.
