Turn signal blinks fast. HELP ME

Hi, guys

I changed to switchbacks(V-LED) for turn signal but it blinks much faster than OEM bulbs.

I doesn't look good.

I watched some switchback video clips(u tube) they had normal speed blinking..

I just changed the bulbs. Do I need to do something to have normal speed turn signal???

you need to buy resistors, one for each signal ligt.. maybe 3 ohm or 6 ohm, you can also get them from v-leds.. that will stop the hyper flashing....

and our sidemarkers dont blink unless you mod them and connect some extra wiring to the front signals

BUMP, Will it hurt anything if I live with the hyper flashing and no resistors?

I had this problem on my differential bulb. The resistor will solve your issue.

Resistor? 6 ohm? Where do I get one?

I'm having this same issue. My right turn signal is blinking too fast. One person told me that I have too much current running to that side, so I need a resistor to correct that.

I have no idea what all that means. I just need to know where I can get this resistor, and how to install it. Any help?
