Slowing down LED bulbs in the turn signals
#1
I've got LED bulbs in my turn signals and marker lights(corners), and I love em. Look perfectly white when off, and produce a amber glow when on. However now my turn signals cycle about 2 times faster, I believe because LED bulbs have less resistance and turn on instantly. Anyway, what's the procedure for slowing them down? Something to do with putting a resistor inline? I also have the turn signal mod done which makes my corner bulbs blink too.

It could also be because the default notification device on basically any vehicle is to cause the blinker to blink rapidly when one is not working, so since you have the LED's in there it may be the ECM saying the bulb is blown or nonexistent and thus causing the shorter delay between flashes. I dunno though cause I haven't dealt much with the blinkers on my truck.
