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.

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.

monty: i know where to get the resistor...just wondering where's the box for putting the smaller resistor in.<P>custom: i heard that its not good for cutting the ground? ill try that though.

well I did mine, and it was fine, just not bright enough. But it annoyed me so I put it back.

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.
