Default Hyper Blinking..

I just installed LEDS for my turnsignal since i cleared it out, it was hard to see the yellow light during the day. Now it's 9 LEDS in a bulb. But it hyper blinks, does anyone know how i can slow it down or blink normally. I searched Hyper blinking, but nothing showed up!

The reason that it blinks faster is because the LEDs do not have as much resistance as the OEM bulb. I am not too sure if you can fix this by installing a resistor in series or not. I personally would not waste the time and put the OEM bulbs back in there.

I have no issues with being able to see my lights during the day.. I have clear bumper lights with amber bulbs in them.

couldn't you just replace the resistor inside the flasher unit with a resistor of higher resistance?

I remember reading people replacing that resistor with a lower resistance resistor to get it to flash faster, so couldn't you just do the opposite?

I don't see why not. What I would do is put a potentiometer in there so you can get the exact resistance for the speed blink you want. Then meter the pot and replace it with whatever size resistor you need.
