Led turn signals

I replaced the turn signal bulbs on my car with the APC led type bulbs. The problem is that they blink faster then the normal bulbs and its driving me mad. Its identical to the way the bulbs blink when one turn bulb is blown. Is there anyway of controlling the speed of the turn signal bulb

By the way, I have no earthly idea...

the LED's don't require as much current, so the car thinks the bulb is burnt out. So, to let you know, it blinks at a faster pace. If you replace one side's LED with the regular bulb, it'll blink at the normal pace, but the other side will still blink fast.

That's why if you put on your 4-ways, they'll blink normally.


SEARCH to find the way to fix it.
