Default Hyperflashing

OK...Enough is enough..I need some help here. What exactly is hyperflashing? If left uncorrected, what if any damage will occur? If I'm getting this correctly, hyperflashing is just a fast flash of the turn signals. Is this really a bad thing? Especially if no damage can occur from it.

Help me out here. I'm thinking of just putting in the Switchbacks and just dealing with the fast flash

its when the blinkers flash at about a 3 to 1 normal ratio.

there won't be any damage, it just looks kinda goofy and "wrong".

every time i see a car that is blinking rapidly i know a bulb is out or it's a poor LED mod.

Yeah, last summer I drove through a 2 foot puddle (serious) during a flash storm and it took out on of my DRL bulbs.
