you can either buy a hyperblinker (a new relay)

or you can open up your current relay and change the resister to a different value.

search for hyperblinker

- The 2x hyperblinkers are the same speed as a bulb is when it is going out (on older cars). Seems like that would be legal. As for the higher speeds, I don't know... doesn't seem like it would be much of an issue (i.e. getting pulled over for it)
Try hyperflasher.com

Even with the proper hyper blinker (hyperflasher.com or hyperblinker.com <--more $) it may still cause electrical problems in the future.

Just warning ya.

I've had one for about over a year now and no electrical problems and the bulbs are fine (no burn outs) O it is 4x. Looks cool when the side marker blink faster.

Not trying to put down hyperblinkers or anything, but what is their appeal?

It doesn't really seem like a modification, it looks like something has gone whack with your electrical system, and its annoying to watch. But maybe the one I was was just going way too fast...

i dont know if this works in the new cars.. but i know it use to work in alot of the older cars... its ghetto and cheap...what you do is put in a Smaller bulb in one of the blinker slots... this makes it blink 2 times as fast.. the smaller bulb makes the car think it has a blown blinker... but it will still light up... just you might want to check on it like every 3 months..

you can also replace your bulbs with a led bulb or led bulb cluster which just fits in the same spot where the old bulb was, they require less power, and the car thinks the bulb is blown so everything blinks twice as fast. only recommended if you have clear/euro/altezza tails tho.
