BLINKERS

Ok, so I have aftermarket rear blinkers, but there is a big problem, my right side blinks twice as fast as the left side. What is going on?

RE: BLINKERS

LED or regular bulbs?

Legend has it you need an inline box to make LEDs blink right.

If it's 2 regular bulbs, make sure they are rated exactly the same. (40w and 40w ?)

Otherwise, I'm outta ideas...

RE: BLINKERS

I am pretty sure they are regular lights not LED's, the top of them are carbon fiber but I can't see inside the blinker itself to see the bulb, they are aftermarket.

There has got to be a way to replace the bulb if needed. Otherwise, they may be non-replaceable LED.

Viking, I don't think the lightbulbs are causing the problem, I think it has to do with something else, maybe the wiring or the way he installed the lights?

RE: BLINKERS

2 wires per blinker, ground and positive. I suppose if those are mixed up that could cause a blink rate problem. Usually it's a change in the draw on that circuit.
