Thumbs up Flashing turn signals

Hi!

I saw on the road couple of weeks ago a protege with turn signals flashing very very fast.

How do you do that??

Thanks,

I thought fast blinking turn signals indicate something's wrong with the bulb or the relay???

why would you want your car to look like it's malfunctioning???

That used to happen with another car I had. It normally meant one of my bulbs was blown. I guess we can check by taking out one of our bulbs?

I changed my bumperlights to flash with the signal lights, if you unhook the bulb, the flasher flashes quickly. Take out a bulb. Why would you want to make the lights flash faster?

And this from an engineer . Hmmm, I guess we will have to take back your ring

Flashing faster means you want to turn faster. Didn't anybody teach you anyting?

all you have to do is cut your black wire on your front turn signals...make sure you insulate the ends...your front turn signals will still light up with the parking lights on but will blink fast...

i changed my turn signal bulbs to red illuminating led bulbs, and now they're "rapid beat flashers"

The chino mobils used to do this back in the early 90's install a timer relay that you could adjust to make your bulbs blink however you wanted along with the brake lights flashing when you hit them.

Some of the stupid stuff that is out there
I am still confused on how people can have that
much of a warped mindset!
Either way to each his/her own

I always thought that was a sign of poor electrical work after an accident. Why would anyone want it, anyway?

It could be one of two things:
a) a blown bulb-a lower resistance allows the flasher to cool faster.
b) a quick flash module was used. (a rice boy device that allows you to adjust the rate of the flash. Can be purchased at your favorite rice boy site)

Hey, seems like you know some stuff. I've been trying to buy a relay or something to make my brake lights blink like you were telling some body in the forum, how do I do that?
