I currently have modified fast blinkers on my Accord..and I must tell you..it's soo cool in the beginning...then it gets on your nerves. I don't even use my blinkers 85% of the time now. BUT!!! On the FWY the fast blinking is soo useful..and sometimes it's pretty cool. But at other times..it's soo annoying. so it's a 50/50 depending on the mood your in. I kept debating on this for my TL-S....and I just remembered there is this mod you can do to the blinker relay itself..and add on a knob..so you can adjust the speed from super slow/stock/fast...it was pretty nifty. I might just do it on the TL. I like the semi fast, also I think it will also change your blinking lights to use the higher wattage from the bulb, instead of the lower one. Do you get what I'm talking about?!?!

All I know is that my Tahoe uses two dual-filament bulbs (1157, I believe) on each front side for parking/turn signal, and if I twist and install one bulb 180 degrees it will blink rapidly when I activate the turn signal on that side.

The "brake lamp out" warning light on the dash works the same way, I believe. It checks the resistance of the filaments in the brake lights. If the resistance level changes (up or down), it thinks the change is due to a bulb out and the light comes on.

- still don't understand the point of this mod
- fast flasher is common on old cars with rusted out electricals
- why don't you just make it stay on -> fastest flasher possible!!

I have these flashers for my TL. THey were cool at first and just like everyone else said it gets annoying after a while. I recently took them out of my car, but will put them back in later on. I think they accutally look kinda nice and give the car a littel more attention too.

One of my friends had the flashers in his Civic. Except he had his hooked up to blink the signal light and brake light in sequence. Imagine this if you are making a left hand turn: left brake light flash & stop, then left signal light flash & stop, back to brake light. It was really cool, reminds me of those merge signal lights that you see on a tow truck or city engineer trucks that tell you to change lanes.

Would that explain why, when I reinsert one 1157 turn signal bulb 180 degrees from it's original position (keeping in mind the bulb/wiring layout of my Tahoe as previously mentioned) it will flash rapidly whenever I engage the turn signal? Just curious since in my case, the bulb is neither burnt out nor of the incorrect type.
