thank you.. i wrote a response saying that same thing but you put it nicer...

I hated my hyperblinkers....i went back to bulbs!!

I realized how much I liked the hyperblinkers cause they cought more attention.....I want my hyperblinkers back. Cause when i use my turn signal its for a second or two and with normal bulbs it will flash once or twice...with hyper's it will flash 3-6 times

Hypersignals make your signalling more noticable? That's absurd. Have you ever been on the road and thought, "wow, I would've never noticed the turn signal if it wasn't blinking fast!" No, the more common response is "look at that poor-man's ricemod tickering away."

People put it on for the same reason they put underbody neons, non-aerodynamic body kits, wings. They want to be laughed at by normal drivers.

I jus think that hyper blinkers give the cops more things to pick on you about.

^yup. Guys, if you want your blinker to flash 3-6 times before you change lanes, HIT THE SWITCH A SECOND EARLIER. It won't kill you. I promise.

I hate houston traffic but if I can tell someone wants to come into my lane and they don't have their blinker on, I don't them in...most of the time if peeps have their blinker on I let them in. The only time htown drivers are courteous is during morning rush hour traffic on the freeway when you're entering and the entrance lane merges to the freeway...then and only then will people actually slow down to let you into their lane.

how hyper are you talking about b/c ive seen some that look just a little faster then stock to ones that almost stay on...... the later is alot more annoying and what catches my eyes as "rice" the semi faster isnt really noticeable because each car manufactuer seems to use a different blink speed anyway
