Did you do anything to induce hyperflashing, like installing aftermarket bulbs??

If you installed LED bulbs, the relay won't recognize the bulb as active due to the significantly lower amperage that LED's consume. This will result in hyperflash which as far as I know, can only be fixed by installing a resistor. The resistor tricks the relay into thinking that the LED is using the same amps as a regular incandescent bulb.

In fact, if you replace your daytime running lights with LED's, you'll get a warning on your HID to check your bulbs since the system thinks they're burned out, due to the very low power draw.

In that case, I'd check all the lights to make sure none are burned out. You've got three - front, rear and mirror. Also, check when the turn signal is on. The bulbs have two filaments - one for the parking/brake lights, and another (brighter) when the turn signal is actually on. If you just check when the parking lights are on, and not the turn signal, you won't see a burned out filament that operates only when the turn signal is on.

Replace the bulb that is hyperflashing and see if that fixes it.

True My fog lights don't appear to be working "that shouldn't have any affect on blining fast" ?? I know it shouldn't but just want to make sure. I can't understand why LED for blinking lights

I have 3 blinking back mirror and front they should be standard bulbs like 192 for mirror and 2057 1157 etc..
