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...

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: )

Damnnnn... slow down all! Originality at the cost of massive criticism! It's a mod for someone who is different and unique! Great job, I just wouldn't do it to my car...

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.
