blinkers blink faster?

[chepas]

I saw this black m3 on the highway, switching lanes and his BLINKERS WERE GOING FASTER THAN THE USUAL. can i make my car blink faster? do i have to change fuses or blubs?

I think that simply means he has a burned out bulb. ;)

lol...probably, but both sides?
I was just wondering if is some kind of special upgrade or something of that style!

thanks though

I found this looking around:
"You need to remove the flasher relay. Open up the flasher and look a resistor. You will need to change this resistor to make your signal blink faster, or slower. The resistance is around 90K If you want to make your signal blink twice as fast as stock, then you would replace the resistor with a 45K.

The lower the resistance, the faster it will blink."

Seems like a lot of work for fast blinkers.

were they strobes (illegal, technically) or just fast blinkers?
