Default Is there a fix for fast blink in led turn signal
Hey guys, I recently changed my rear turn signal bulbs to leds, now I have the fast blinking. Is this harmful to wire system? I dont mind the fast blinking, but if its messing up my car I rather fix it. Does anyone know what wires, connectors, I need to get? Thanks

Thanks for the advise guys. But can I just leave the fast blinking, is it harmful to the car? It doesn't really bother me, I think it is pretty cool.

I dont think it will create a major issue as long as you dont change anything in the electrical system loop.

So if I were to replace my turn signals with LEDs, it will have rapid blinking without a resistor? If so, why?

Yes they will hyperblink it to alert the driver that one of there turn signals is burnt out.
