Octopus 3rd Gear September 26, 2005 Share September 26, 2005 Whether normal or not I'm not sure. But I've noticed that if one of the signal light bulb blown, the signal flashing speed will be faster than normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankm Neutral Newbie September 26, 2005 Share September 26, 2005 This is due to the LED bulb which uses less power. The car signal electronic thinks that the bulb has blown, hence the faster signal rate to inform the driver of the problem. One way to fix this is to plug in a load resistor in parallel to the led bulb. See here http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
