I just noticed that my blinkers started blinking twice as fast as they used to. I dont know why this is happening but maybe you all might be able to tell me. I put LED bulbs in my turn signals, could this make them blink faster?

Check all of your brake light bulbs. Often when one goes out it triggers a fast blinker. Built in warning system.
Check bulbs first, but should be the problem

I have those bulbs too. It blinks faster because the resistance on the LED bulbs are much lower than the regular bulbs. It lower current draw affects the blinker relay which makes it blink faster.

Well, in case they are wired wrong and it causes a fire, remember, stop, drop, and ROLL up to the nearest HONDA. If you gonna lose your Max, take a Honda with you! Good luck!
