okay, i did the "DIY All red tails" and installed some superbright red l.e.d's and now my blinkers flash extremly fast... anyone know why? all lights are flashing!

As far as I know, the resistance of the LEDs is lower than a normal bulb, so the capacitor and inductor in the circuit will cycle at a faster rate. You need to wire a resistor in series with the bulb, I'm not sure what ohmage you'd need.

led's have lower resistant than the oem bulbs. Just throw on a resistor and it'll be fine.

 

I had the same problem when i put led's in.....I dunno it has something to do with resitance, but i just left mine the way they were....it never hurt anything and I got use to the fast turn signal

 

yeah, i was just wandering why... i have gotten used to it already, at least its something different
