Fast Turn Lights

Hey all,

I was mid travel on an 8 hour trip and suddenly I found both my driver and passenger turn signals started blinking fast. Once I got to my destination, I replaced the front turn signals, brake lights, side lights, and reverse lights (All LED except side lights) with the same results. All the lights work. I recently put new headlight bulbs in a few months ago as well. I'm not sure what it could be, kinda stumped. Any help would be appreciative

You have to have resistors if your going to run leds on the turn signals/brake lights. They don't pull enough current for the bcm to recognize they are working.
One for each bulb, something like these I linked.

What Colt said, except the resistors he linked are WAY overpriced.
Here's a good alternative. These are dirt cheap and as long as they're 50W 6ohm they will work perfectly

They should be wired to the positive and negative wires of the blinker on either side of the car.
