Blinker Speed Adjustment?

[Blk96Eclipse]

I was wondering how some car's I've seen like Prelude's and Civic's make their blinkers blink really fast cause it looks cool and I wanna do it to my Eclipse.

[A//// Guy]

eh I dont know if it looks cool but its just a relay you put in I believe.

I know on my car all I have to do is switch the wires around on the blinkers and they blink fast.

Or you can just not replace one of the burnt out bulbs. It's the easiest way to diagnose a bad blinker. If it blinks fast (or extremely slow) on only one side, it's usually that one of the bulbs (front or rear) have burnt out. If it's that way on both sides, then either you have a bulb on both sides burnt out or your flasher unit ($1.25 item under the dash) is bad. Also if the blinker comes on but doesn't blink, this is a symptom of one of the above things as well.

I think it's funny as hell to watch.

Yeah and those damn tards always add their clear tails and corners and they don't use the right bulb or can't get something to work right with their elaborate body kits... I see this all the time seeing as how where I work we now sell that same sh*t..

Style and Performance my ass...

I could whip you up something that would allow you to adjust the flash speed .Or allow a different sequence or even fade in and out.

it doesn't look cool. to any car guy its going to look like your car is broken. everytime i see a civic doing that i just laugh and point, "hey dumbass! you have a bulb out!"

I'd have to agree with this, but to each his own.

The best turn signals that I've seen in the back of a car is the old Mercury Cougars. They go from the inside light to the outside light.

actually the "quick blink" is done by sodering a resistor onto the turn signal relay now in a dsm if you try to do this the relay is in the center of your dash behind the controls for your heater (well in a 2g anyway) and you just pull out the resistor and the top comes off and you soder it in its pretty simple the resistor sells at radio shack for like 30 cents
