Default Blinker Help

I want to make my blinkers "supa-fast" tried last night and blew a few fuses. So I gave up after a bit. If anyone knows how to do this let me know. I can tell you this though if you hook the white to the green it makes your dash lights flash when you blinker is on kinda cool effect I guess.

you need to adjust the blinker pressure down to 18psi. if you don't have a blinker gauge, you can eyeball. it drain the blinker fluid down to about 1/3 full and then turn your car on and off a few times. then start it up. now your blinkers will be much faster. add or remove fluid to adjust the speed.


or if you don't want to get messy, you can buy some led blinker bulbs that fit in the stock location. this will make them brighter and blink faster too. leds also last longer than incandescant bulbs.

Take out your two front corner bulbs .
Ghetto (5)
Safety (1)

Wire them in reverse...your parking light will be super bright and your blinkers will be dim
Ghetto (3)
Safety (2)

Get the kit that does it without messing with any bulbs.

eric,
Yup just cut the ground. I actually think the white is a constant. I dont know though but anyway if you cut it, it makes the blinkers fast I only cut the front two I wonder if they would be faster if I cut the back ones also.
