    Double blinking turn signal

    I've lived with it for a while now but want to fix it to avoid cops being nosy.

    Back story:
    I purchased some cheap LED lights back in 2009 from JZGarage (since been banned from GTRC) and the signals were blinking properly. Those died a few months later and I removed them all and replaced with regular bulbs.

    Since I put regular bulbs in my turn signals blink at a double rate of speed BUT my 4 way hazards blink at a regular rate. Is there a resistor under the dash that I need to replace?

    check to make sure all your lights are working. this happens when one bulb burns out it gives more power to the rest so they go twice as fast.

    Symptom explained is the only issue with my lights, all lights have been checked and in good working order.

    One (or more) might not be seated properly in the housing. I had this happened to me 2 days ago, pulled into CT to get new bulb, pulled the turnsignal housing out to see which one was not working. When i pulled the bulbs, all filaments were still intact... "wtf!" i said out loud to my self next to the lady getting into her minivan with her 4 kids... turned out the bigger bulb had shaken loose and wasnt sitting all the way in on the contact.. problem solved... see if that is the issue. You MIGHT have gotten slightly smaller bulbs and they MIGHT be shaking loose or not hitting the contacts properly.

    LED lights, especially the 194 replacements, are slightly bigger and can stretch the contacts apart making the normal ones not fit as tight as before.

    Incorrect bulbs can alter the resistance and create problems. I've seen wrong bulbs for an air bag circuit light set off the airbag warning on a dash
    I've been brushing my teeth with jack but it's resulted in terrible amounts of tooth decay.
