Get a Red LED light bulbs! the bad thing is that it will blink faster, but get rid of yellow color and have red turn signals.

To correct the hyperblinking problem, go to fry's (or check outpost.com) for "6.8 ohm 25 watt" resistors or "load equalizing resistors" from autolumination.com. Attach one end to the + and the other to the - for the LED turn signal. Basically, the LED bulbs draw too little power so the relay thinks the bulb isn't there. The resistor burns off the same amount of power as the stock bulb so the relay will blink properly.
