I just installed some LED bulbs for my blinkers and now for some reason my blinkers blink oddly fast. Like ricy fast.. anyone have any ideas? I searchd and cant realy find anyone with this problem. I think a fuse blew...? I have an 06 WrX if that helps...

Edit: All 4 of my blinkers are now LED bulbs, and i checkd the blinker fliud

 

The car thinks you have a bulb out becuase the LED's use such a small amount of current so they blink twice as fast as normal. they have a resistor that will take care of it. I was at autozone and looked at LED turnsignals and the ones I looked at have another part to buy so they dont do that.

 

That was fast LoL... ill stop by autozone tomorrow. Thanks a lot man.

 

There are two ways to deal with it- either add resistors at each bulb, or replace the flasher with an electronic one that will flash at the proper rate. The replacement flasher is a nicer solution because the resistors are relatively large and generate a lot of heat, and you have to install them properly. Also they will negate the lower-current advantage of the LEDs.

 

i went to kragens today and asked and they knew nothing... so what exactly do i need? How do i get this flasher and do i have to wire it in and stuff?

 

 

I'll go down to autozone after I take a shower and see if I can get some info. and maybe a website for who makes the lights.

 

oh u dont need to do that, its ok il just throw in the stockers its no biggie, but if your curious anyways then i got them from http://autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm its the 8th bulb from the bottom the 12LED bulbs. Only thing is my stockers faded so there lik clear now. If someone wants to trade bulbs or something id be down. I cant seem to find any stock amber bulbs here no idea why... all they have are clear in my size.

just get the 6 or 3 ohm resister it works like a charm.
