Increasing turn signal speed?? Anyone know how?

Other than adding blinker fluid What would you need to do to make your turn signals blink faster? I've done the side marker mod and would like more speed on the blinks.

This one's easy. You're obviously not hitting the wand back-and-forth
quick enough. Using your left, instead of right, hand every once in a while
should fix you right up.

There is a way to make it faster or slower. You have to use a rheostat. its complex and hard to explain but if you know something about wiring you will do fine. basically you have to control the ground signal to the flasher signal with the rheostat.

Is this the hyper blink thing? For some reason I just think this is kind of rice, this may also be due to many of the riced out vehicles around here having this.

I guess I have now officially heard it all. When one feels compelled to dwell on the speed of their turn signal, they should be officially given some kind of an **** .orger of the year award and not be compelled to relinquish it until someone with a more inane hangup comes along and strips him of the title.

hate to ruin all this fun but like the third post is right. I think all you really have to do is change resistance in the line that controls your blinkers. I think that is all you have to do.

Thanks for all the input, just want to get rid of the granny signal. Blinks way too slow with the extra resistance of the side marker.

from what i heard from my honda homeboy- alls you gotta do is cut some wire. there is a reason that it blinks extra fast when a bulb is out, so you know its out. but there is a way to get it blink that fast all the time (well when your signaling at least), just make it think there is a bulb out. i dont know what wire it is, just get a test light, take out one of your blinker bulbs, and test away. im not sayin this will work on a quality car, but it worked on my friend's honda

faster blinkers increase torque y0.
