That is just the way they react to LED. You need to put a relay in to slow down the signal.

Is there any benefit to running led bulbs, do they look better? I've never even seen them.
/the fast blinking, will that damage anytthing if I don't put the relay in?

Scroll to the bottom of the link. You need a load resistor.
