Default anybody who has white lights (AHA!!!)

OK NEW STUFF. i seem to have isolated the problem
i went fiddilng and learned the socket the turn signal bulbs go into can be removed and switched. so thats what i did. and guess what. the problem switched to the other side. ITS THE SOCKET. but now both sides blink fast but idc right now. i found out its NOT my doing. its the socket. i still have to desolder my mirrors b4 scion will take a look cause u know it "could" still be a user error. so bump it imma switch to yellow and then do it again.

thats the socket.

one of your bulbs are out.. or did you change any of the to LED bulbs? it'll blink faster than normal when your car sees that it's sending electricity but not getting much output.

Check your rear turn signal to see if it's burnt out, also check the bulb in the orange reflector part to see if it's working. If any one of the bulbs is burnt, it blinks fast like that to let you know. I'm running the white LED's in my mirror turn signals and the chrome super white bulbs up front, and I don't have a problem. That's what it seems like though, just one of your bulbs are burnt.

He shouldn't if the only place he's running LED's is in the turn signals on the mirrors that he swapped out. I have the same and running fine.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe looking to see if somehow you pinched a wire and it's shorting out somewhere's. Tonight open your hood, turn on your blinker and see if you see sparks anywheres.

Yeah, that's the only thing I can think of. Did they say if you had to put both of them back to stock or can you get away with just 1? Also, before you desolder, when you take your mirror apart, make sure all 3 LED's are working fine.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I really don't know what else to tell you. Somebody else may chime in.
