Want to slow down my turn signals
I just changed my turn signal bulbs to LED bulbs because they are brighter.... well now I have high speed flashers. Loved them in 2001 but I am looking for a solution without having to cut the harness to get my turn signals back to a normal flashing rate.
Anyone have a solution to my problem?
Thanks for your help!

Re: Want to slow down my turn signals
Thanks TunerN00b. What are the specs on the resistor that I need to change and how involved is it to change this?
Thanks!
Thanks!

If that is too "electrical engineer" for you, then this mod might be best skipped. In which case, look for a plug in box to allow normal flashing rate with LEDs. These are readily available.
That said, I've never seen an LED that was actually brighter than halogen bulb for turn signals. Many claim to be, but none seem to actually be.

To fix the fast blinking I personally always solder in resistors made for LED bulbs into the OEM wiring. They are all over eBay (VLEDS and HyperLEDs always have fast shipping and great service).

Re: Want to slow down my turn signals
auto zone sells the resistors for cheap. They have a long white rectangular piece with 2 black wires at each end. Used them and they work well when I converted to LED.
