I bought LED turn signals and they look great and are really bright but they blink about twice as fast as the stock bulbs. Does anyone know why and is there anyway to fix this? If not is there a way I can at least turn off the clicking sound in the car so I don't have to listen to it?

They are blinking fast because LED bulbs dont put a load on the circuit like filament bulbs do-your car thinks the bulbs are blown that's why it's blinking fast. You can find load resistors on eBay for vey cheap. This will solve your problem.

Either wire in a resister, or pick up an electronic flasher. Motorcycle guys have this same problem when going with LED flushmount signals.

Is this what I need? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Is it going to hurt anything for me to keep the LED bulbs in until I get the resistors? Also am I going to need these for every led bulb I put in because I was going to change all of my rear bulbs to led's to, or is it just the turn signal ones that are a problem.
