Turn signals that flash really fast irritate the hell out of me... I used to think that it was a defect in the car, not an actual mod!

I would have to agree with PenguiQX, it looks like there is something wrong with the car.

looks like the one i ordered goes with 3 fast flash and 1 normal flash.

the led that goes very fast made it look like you have a bulb out.

Usually, a fast flash indicates that a bulb is out.

I would hate to be the driver in back of you when you are signalling a turn...

I agree with PenguinQX...it is a source of irritation...at least from the outside looking in...

But granted, you will be noticed...

didnt think of that.

but i check DMV site it didnt say how a flasher should flash. but i am sure different state have different laws.

CA DMV link

Method of Signaling


22110. (a) The signals required by this chapter shall be given by signal lamp, unless a vehicle is not required to be and is not equipped with turn signals. Drivers of vehicles not required to be and not equipped with turn signals shall give a hand and arm signal when required by this chapter.

(b) In the event the signal lamps become inoperable while driving, hand and arm signals shall be used in the manner required in this chapter.

Horrible, i wouldn't venture that route, it does look extremely ricey. Usually cars that have fast blinkers indicate that there is a bad relay.

i had that stuff on my car like 10 years ago (1987 mitsubishi starion), no kidding 10 years, ask any tl guys from hawaii. back then the trend was beat flashers, fog lites, side markers and power by stickers in hawaii, anyway that thing is call high speed flasher, the one with the beat pulse in the site is call latin beat. eurosport (rim shop) made so much money from that little toy back in the day.

OK, I hope to be the last word on this issue. First of all its not ricey, it personolizes your car. Second, in Cali. any forwrd facing light that a police officer considers to be a strobe light or a strobe effect is illegal. (If hes pissed your screwed) The strobe confuses other drivers, and can be used maliciously. (impersonating a :cop: )

The reason that the LED bulbs hyper flash when you use them in a normal bulb socket is because the LED's run at such low power and it tricks the car into thinking a bulb is out.

Go with the mod if you like it, it's your car.
