has anyone purchased the replacement diode dynamic or similar LED front turn signals? Did you experiance "hyperflashing" or any issues?

I looked at superbrightleds.com and found these listed under the 12 veloster. 2012 Hyundai Veloster LED Replacement Bulbs | LED Lights for Cars | 12v | Super Bright LEDs

I need to look and see if the 12 and 13 turbo have the same bulbs. But these guys have resistance in the bulb so you don't get hyper flashing. I was thinking about trying it out. Has anyone else got these yet?

Yes, you will need to purchase a flasher relay/resistor to slow the flash rate. It's common when changing over to LED bulbs.

ANY LED turn signal bulb will not have built in resistors. Don't believe them if they do. The only exception is for German cars and that is because their circuitry is way different. You will need to add resistance to the circuit.

All the bulbs should be the same, there shouldn't be any diference.

Why aren't resistors built into the bulbs? I think that would be a great marketing point.

The resistors build up a ton of heat. Heat is the fastest way to kill LEDs. Do the math.

Even when it's for short usage? I could see if the LED's were being driven full time how they could heat up.

The resistors pull current as long as the blinker is on. So if you are sitting at a long stop-light you are putting all that heat into the LEDs and the light housing for a long time. Heck, pulled over with your hazards on it can be the same issue. They always recommend that you attach the external resistor to a metal component to function as a heat sink.
Now, I'm not saying that its not possible. But most LED manufactures like to claim how long lived their solutions are. Adding a component that is guaranteed to damage the LED over time isn't the most sensible move.

What about changing the resistor in the relay for the turn signals and flashers? Seems like the would be a plug and play solution.

If our cars use cartridge flashers, then sure.
