I have the HyperBlinker Strobe V2 in my car and it blinks super fast. I'm thinking about trying out the Blinker 2X V1, which is supposed to be a little slower.

Hyper blinker home page

this site has a link to display the effect of the different blinkers.

If you are asking what the part looks like go to a parts store and look for a turn signal relay. its a small black box with a three plug prong. its direct replacement, like a fuse. don't but anything where you have to cut n' splice. its just not necessary

Just to add, you do not have to buy the hyperblinker relay. You can make your own by modifying the stock one. What the people did was solder a resistor into the stock relay. I think they used a 120 rate one or something like that. And the lower the number the faster the blinker.

The hyper blinker is just a small 1 1/2 inch relay u switch with the one under ur steering wheel on the driver's side. It was pretty easy to install, but I needed my friend to do it for me, cuz he has smaller hands. I got mine on ebay for $20. I know that u can make your own, but I'm not trying to mess with my car like that, I've heard of people messing up. Here's a picture of the stock one.

I literally just finished switching from a 6x to a 2x blinker. IMO 6x and 4x are just too fast, especially 6x. you cant even tell you're signaling. with 2x, there is a noticeable difference, and it's the least ricest.

What i mean is, a normal l.e.d bulb from apc ( 7440 i think ) will make that work for about 7 dollars ea.! this might be the part # 50149b its just white but you can get red too!! Check it out!!! cheap ,easy!!!

Hey guys,
Ummm... Instead of cutting apart delicate electronic components I would try cvconedge's suggestion about the low watt L.E.D change. Some how I can't see Honda honouring the warranty after they find the reversed wires or soldered resistors. The L.E.D bulbs do work and are a much cheaper alternative to paying $60.00 an hour shop labour at the dealership.
Give the L.E.D bulbs a try... they work in all the cars around here!
Later! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

The DIY hyperblinker you linked to is ONLY FOR COUPES.
Sedans have a different relay that the coupes.
Dont try the same method for the coupes on a sedan. It will blink super fast![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

This is the DIY I made for the sedans enjoy! DIY HYPERBLINKERS FOR SEDANS

Ummm.... Like I said.... Why not just try the L.E.D. bulbs instead of ruining your brand new car and it's electronic components?
