1. It could be partially grounded. You know where the Injen CAI extension bracket connects? You might wanna tigthen that bolt.

2. One of the bulbs (F or R) on the left side is defective. For instance, if the Front one blows out, then the left will blink super mega fast...

3. Check fuse under your steering wheel. It's a 7.5amp one. I doubt this one though...

Are any of your signal lights or brake lights out. Check it out, I had that problem and my brake light was out, changed it and the quick blinking was gone.

definately a ground loop problem.

Check your aftermarket wiring and negative battery terminal to chassis ground.

velocity... if your car is completely stock and you havnt done anything with the electrical system and it continues to blink fast like that... check ALL your bulbs on the left side and then take it into the dealership and have them look at it,... I doubt that its a blown fuse because they would completely stop working if that was the case.

u have to make sure that the wires are touching the frame. try using some tape to secure it better.

I havn't had time to mess around with it yet becuase of work and school but I'm planning on doing it wednsday. I think i'm going to take the bolt that orginally held the ground wires in place and see if it will fit into one of the other holes around the orginal grounding point and just ground everything there. and if that dosent work I'm just going to sodder a wire onto the ground wires and hook it up to the battery so i don't have to keep messing around with everything! I'll let you know if it works or not

alright i figured it out... remove the bolt with the rubber thingie on it that holds down the ground wire and take the ground wire off and put the bolt back on as normal... right below the headlight there is a screw that just holds two pieces of metal together and the nut is permantly attached to the metal (trying to describe it as best as i can cuz my camera dosent work) remove that bolt and put put all the ground wires there and then put the bolt back on and your good to go...
simply put:
1) remove ground wire from factory location
2) remove bolt below headlight and reground everything there.

let me know if you need any help or have any questions.
