Ok, so i replaced every bulb in the rear driver's side(brake, revese, and turn signal lights) and i have HIDS(both working). My left blinker is really fast....

on the front turn signal amber blinkers, the left bulb harness was stolen so i bought one from pepboys with correct replacement bulb(the one that actually blinks)

the outside bulb, on the turn signal, is a separate harness than the one that was cut and wasn't replaced; however, this hyperblinker problem did not start until way afterward...

should i replace this bulb even though it doen't blink ever and do you have any suggestions?

bulbs are like a dollar each, it couldnt hurt.

 

When your blinker blinks twice as fast it's because the other one is broken. So if the front one is blinking twice as fast than the rear one is broken, and likewise for the rear working and front not.

 

both the front and the rear blink fast, on the left hand side

did you replace ALL the bulbs? theres 4, front, front side, rear, and rear side. just cause the bulb LOOKS good doesnt mean it is. make sure all the bulbs are lighting.

 

they are lighting and there's more than 4 bulbs per side....there's front headlight, amber turn signal, the bulb next the that harness that does not light ever(????), rear reverse, rear turn signal, rear brake, and most forgotten by many, rear license plate bulbs....

thanks for the input though....hyperblinkers make me hyper

 

the turn signals are on their own circuit, headlights, tail lights, reverse lights, and brake lights are not connected to the same circuit.

what bulb is this?

for turn signals, in the front of the car, there should be 2 bulbs, one facing the front of the car, and one facing the side. theyll take turns going on and off when the signals are on.

 

oooo ok i see what you are saying...on my turn signals, i never see the bulb facing the side actually light...on either side of the car...is there any way to make it?

 

ok, so i checked out my left front turn signal and it was wired worng so i re-wired this way...

car_____________to___________light socket
red/black_______________________red
black__________________________black
green___________________________black

now sometimes the left signal will blink normal for up to 5 sec and go hyper on me!

is this the way it is supposed to be wired? when i switch the blacks around the turn signal does not work

 

Those front side bulbs light when the "parking" lights/headlights are on...and that one was my problem in the past....

 

Ummm, my side lights dont come on period. I have parked my car and turned on off every light, the side ones never came on. I see other people driving their tegs around, some ive noticed with their turn signals on some without, and i never see them lit up. What's the use for them because I want to spray half the corner light black since its illegal to spray over the actual turn signal.

 

check the bulb, just cause it looks good doesnt mean it is.

 

i did replace the 168 bulb(small one in turn signal)

 

What you can do is place resistors inline for the blinkers. These are usually sold with like LED kits for like motorcycles (at least that's where I got mine). You basically just solder in line on the wire that's going to the blinker. It intercepts the voltage, and helps regulate it and make it normal. It shouldn't hurt to try that...good luck!

 

yea i did think of that but dont know what ohm resistor to try

 

I'll try to find out, but if you look at LED kits for bikes, they usually tell you what size the resistor is, so you can go off of that. I'll look around and see what I can find.

 

bump for any other ideas?
