resistor for blinkers?
hey guys. where can i find that little box that has the 90k resistor that's hooked to the blinkers? i want to solder in a 45k resistor so it blinks twice as fast...which isnt very fast compared to the stock blinker speed.

Re: resistor for blinkers?
If you cut your grounds in the fron they will blink 2x as fast. They dim some though.<BR>I cut mine @ one time, got annoying so I put them back.

Re: resistor for blinkers?
well I did mine, and it was fine, just not bright enough. But it annoyed me so I put it back.
Re: resistor for blinkers?
if you get a smaller ligth it will go faster i had to custom some blinkers now looks liek i have some strobe ones but hey whatever works and looks nice ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: resistor for blinkers?
I actually failed inspection for that in New Jersey. The law is that it has to blink something like atleast 45x a minute and no more than 75x a minute. The ground was broken on one of my lights so it was too fast.
