Default '99 LED Tails Blink Too Fast.

I installed 4 'JamStrait 3157-HR' LED tail lights in my C5 the other night. Now the left and right blinker speed is way too fast. That is the only thing abnormal. The hazard lights, when activated, blink at a normal speed.

Has anyone run into this before? Is there a simple fix (module) that I can just plug in somewhere?

I know the car doesn't have an individual blinker relay after looking in the factory service manual. Everything seems to run through the hazard switch up by the center vent.

Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

-Greg

hmmm not sure about the LED's but I have a front right turn signal light out and that makes the right side blinkers blink super fast. That is they way they tell you, you have a light out...not sure about the LED's, but make sure all your signals and such are working. :cheers:

Ty- Thanks! Congrats to you on the recent announcement!

Bill- Thanks for that info. I will definitely check into the Adjure site!

Chicago- All lights work, so it's not a bulb out. By the way, is that a pic of your silver C5 with european red/clr? What did you do with your original rear lamp housings? I would like to find an extra set for about $50 to do a little custom work on.
