Front turn signal bulbs

I barely got my headlights blacked out with amber removed and i didnt like the stock turn signal bulb with the amber, so i first purchased white 7443 LED's and the navi screen along with the buttons blinked when the turn signals was active, the second 7443 amber LED bulb got rid of the blinking navi but the turn signals blink at a high rate.. Is there a speacial watt bulb im suppose to get or.. Any help appreciated

Since LED bulbs draw lower current than filament bulbs, the computer thinks a bulb is out. This causes hyper blinking. To get rid of it, you need to apply load resistors or replace the flasher unit (the latter may or may not be an option - varies by car).

You got hyperflashing. Google it an find the thread on Acurazine. It will tell you everything you need to know.

Call me retarded, but you said your nav unit is blinking?

That's a new one. How is that even possible?

You need load resistors.
