LEDs have a lower resistance than the stock bulb. Lower resistance=faster blinking. It can be fixed with a relay, but I don't know how.

i figured it was something like that but im sick of turning and always havin my turnsignals blink 100mph. and the insides, they didnt have the lil screw parts so they dont stay in tight... i like them but coulda been a lil closer to stock product in ways for the price

hmmm, these lights don't sound like all that great of engineering went into it. Badly designed wiring circuits, bad threading (Just because the factory does it, doesn't mean you have to).

just search ebay for load resistors. pretty simple. then attach it to the ground and whatever wire it is for the turn signal and brake.

i think this is what your lookin for and the have resistors built in so you dont get the fast blinking thing. i have a set and the work and look great.. they look just like stock lights but have leds in em..

no they are sealed of good. i havent had any problems out of em yet. i've had em for bout 2 months now..

they dont come with the reverse lights but these look identical to the stock tail lights so they match up perfectly and they dont come in smoke. you'd have to smoke em yourself if thats what you wanted.
