Default Installed CAI and 9005 Lights, now blinker is really fast?

After I had the CAI and bulbs installed, the blinker is now blinking really really fast, and I don't know why. How can I fix it to make it go back to normal?

Usually that means one of your blinker bulbs is burned out.
Check to see if any of them don't work.

For the blinker check the ground that was relocated under the driver's headlight.

what bulbs did you use? i know when i change the tails in my truck to led strips i needed to install a resistor or something because it was drawing a different amount of power and the car thinks it's broken. just an idea

you touched something you wheren't suppose to cause when i did my high beams, yes there 65 watts as well my blinkers still seemed to blink the same. but yeah check your grounds and you might want to check that all your bulbs in plugged in properly.

there always is a way to fix/repair something. you mean you put the 9005 bulb in the 9006 slot or cut the wires and rewired them vise virsa? well even if the stock wattage is 55 for the low beams you can always add a higher watt and not mess something else up besides your wiring frying. a friend put 85 wattage bulb in his and there bright but hasn't had a problem since summer time.

oh then idk, unless you put a LED bulb then that causes it to blink faster, but just try putting a resistor so slow it down which is all i can think of for now.
