Faster Blinking

Does anyone know how to make your blinker blink faster? I know that's a sign that your fuse is about to go out, but for some reason I like how that looks? I've heard (but not been shown) the fuses can be tweaked Anyone have a suggestion? Or should I forget about it.

mod edit- i inserted the word "tweaked", replacing a word that has no place on this forum or even in our language anymore zoom44

Disconnect....

The USUAL flasher circuit will speed up if one of the bulbs goes out. To try it, unplug one of the rear bulbs, (easiest to get at) see if you like the effect.

LED bulbs will draw so little current that it causes the same effect, if you like it that way, replace your rears with LEDS.

yup, I have red LED's in my blinker location...blinks real fast. I didnt like it at first, but I get many people asking me how I did it. I didn't do anything..LEDs (like Stealth says), just draw less current so they blink faster to use all the current up.

Does this mean I'll be shopping for more bulbs for your car?

IMO Dont do it man. Just a good way to get attention from cops or you can look at this like its a good way to get other drivers attention.

My mistake Zoom, i'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't know any other word. You have my word i won't use such terms again.

Heh, i've wanted my blinker like that for a while now, that I've even just flicked the blinker myself very fast. I've been doing it since I had my eclipse, so I have a slight skill in moving fast myself

I have a pair of amber LED's you only need a piar (front or rear) to make it go faster, you can put a a piar of LED's on both the fron and rear but it won't make it blink any faster. here's a link: buy my crap
