Default Blinkers blink fast

K i have a buddy of mine that has the ebay lights and projectors..not sure if thats where he bought them but im posting because it bothers me everytime he signals or something. When he signals left or right his all his blinkers blink excessively faster than normal and its very annoying. but when his hazards are on they blink at the normal speed. DOES ANYONE know how to fix or what would cause this because im about to smash his tail lights because its so ****ing annoying.
Thank you

edit: its an 06' tC

K either he has LED bulbs with no load resistors or his bulbs are about to burn out. Commonly they blink fast as an indicator that the bulbs need replacement. Your welcome.

It's probably due to LED turn signals. I think some resistors (I don't know what type) will fix it.

both are correct superbrightleds has what he needs to fix the problem but i think some electrical skill is required to make it work well...ive found numerous resistors for domestics but not many (like 2) for imports . just tell him its that way for a reason...so we can see his hazards flashing brightly when his ebay lights burn out lol kidding...

load resistors or a new flasher relay will fix it.

that is assuming that he hasn't burnt out any of his fuses yet.

as an ex honda ***** i will lend you my guess. a lot of the ebay projectors on hondas didnt include the front turn signals or wiring for them which people didnt mind. so they simply wouldnt even hook them up. but of course your car doesnt see a signal and warns you with quick turn signals... sadly a lot of ricers purposely do this "mod" lol.
