Just made a pair of mounts for the BC mini retro turn signals got them wired up and sure enough they blink too fast. Have the stock lights on the bars still and the aftermarket on the fender brace any thought on how to make them blink slower like the stock ones?

Get one of these, you can mix and match all the signal lights you want and get a consistent flash: http://www.bellacorse.com/bcc169.htm

RYK was wondering because when I did an ohm test the aftermarket signal bulb had a higher ressistance than the stock but the aftermarket was also a two filament .Thanks

As far as my limited knowledge of all things electrical, these particular flashers run on (I was lead to believe)a timer instead of resistance. Anyway, I have LED s on the front and incandescent s on the back (signals) and this flasher squared away my problems. I was a little leery, $18, but it was worth it.

before you do anything, make sure the reflector buckets are making good contact with the housing. i had this same problem.

i pulled the reflector out and used needlenose pliers to kinda bend the flange back. it also helped that i'd pulled some of the wires through, and that helped wedge it into place.
