doesn't it go fast when your blinker is busted?

Are you using LED blinkers? When you run a different wattage it'll throw off the computer. You need to get a resistor or find some bulbs that draw the same amount of current.

Click the LINK and scroll down half way...these guys sell load resistor kits specifically for cars. I don't know if this is the proper ohm's you need because I don't know what bulbs you have but you can try them out.

I have led bulbs with those resistors and they work great. No fast blinking. If you're using bulbs and it's doing that, either the bulb is busted or you forgot to plug in a connector.

just outta curiosity I hear a lot of people bitch about blinkers being too fast with led's, is that just a visual thing or does the sound it makes when your blinkers on speed up too?

Ya it's just like having a blown bulb with leds. It flashes faster and clicks too. Just get the load resistors.

I have amber/orange light just like stock. The only drawback to leds is they aren't as bright as bulbs during the day. At night I can't tell a difference. Also, the 7443 leds are very hard to tell when the parking light is on AND they're blinking. The increase in brightness isn't as noticable. But they are clear when off instead of reflecting. It's gonna be a tradeoff no matter what you decide on.
