LED Blinkers

I did a search on this and came up with nothing relevant. So I wanted to run it by you guys to see if anyone knows of the fix for the LED Bulbs in the blinker housing blinking fast like a bulb is out? I know it has to be a Ohm problem or the relay. Anyone know of the best way to approach this? Any help or products is much appreciated!!

People just put in a resistor to handle that issue, that is the best way to take care of it if you want to keep the LED's as your blinker.

Yeah thats what I was thinking too. Do you know what OHM resistor to put in by chance? I am kinda unclear on that part of it.

3 ohms if you're doing 4 blinkers(2 front, 2 back), and 6ohms if you're just doing 2. And you just need two resistors in both cases because they run in series, so the current is the same.

Thanks for that info! That helps me out a ton. I really appreciate it. Thats why I love Acurazine!

that's weird. I had some LED "bulbs" lying around and decided to try them out in my '06 tsx. They worked fine, perhaps there is already a resistor in line because of the LED blinkers on the mirrors?

Someone told me that their leds make them blink really fast, so hes getting a resistor now.
