My turn signals are flashing to fast, drove car yesterday and observed flasher rate was to fast, short story, found both DRL/turn signal filaments on front right and left side bulbs burnt . I replaced with LED bulbs and now have front turn signals and DRL's working again but flashing rate is still to fast, possible flasher problem? Rear lights work. Any advice appreciated.
Your car is fine. What happens is that LEDs consume so little power compared to traditional bulbs, that your car "thinks" they are burned and need to be replaced. It is letting you know by hyperflashing when you use the turn signals.
The best solution for this is to install a hyperflash harness. This harness will fix hyperflashing turn signals when LEDs are installed (although hazards will still do it).
This one even includes 2 LEDs for you license plate lights for just $32.99. It's completely plug-and-play: no splicing or anything
