blinker blinking too fast
recently I put some LED lights in my front turning signals and have had them in for about 3 days or so and yesterday my blinker just started bling fast as hell...faster than normal. I dont think its the LEDs, how do I get it to go back to normal?

It is the LEDs. The LEDs have alot less resistance than regular bulbs, so the circuit thinks the bulb is out. They have it blink fast to let you know you need to check the lights. I think there is some kind of thing out that tricks it to thinking its a regular bulb but im not sure.

or add led's to all the other turn signal bulbs, i had the same problem and had to get the 813-or 814 small bulbs for the front turn signals corners. google for jamstrait leds, he makes them. once all turn signal bulbs draw the same resistance the relay will go back to flaching like normal. then when a led light bulb goes out your iradic flashing will return.
