I put new signals on and they blink way to fast. I got them from brit customs and they have double filliment bulbs. Could that be my issue.

It has something to do with the voltage on the lights. If memory serves... you need an LED relay for it to work properly.

Im sure some eon else will chime in and maybe even provide a previous link.

May be a blown bulb. I know they are new but there was a bad review about BC lights on another forum. A guy was blowing bulbs daily till he got through the four that came with the lights.

Which side of the lamp did you wire up? I think the running light side might blink faster due to lower resistance.

Two wires using the signal stalk for the ground? If so a swap probably cures you.

What happens if you flash both elements at the same time; tie both leads together?
