Alright so I've had this car almost a week now. So far i've been made fun of several times haha. I really dont care though because I really dont have the money to change it up.

Anyways. The guys who built the car are TOOLS!!! Not good ones either. I'm talkin the cheap walmart ratchet that busts your knuckles constantly! The rear lights are a skyline imitation they made up. I guess its ok but I'd have put forth more effort into making them fit right

Sorry about the rambling

Ok the turn signals HAUL ASS! They blink un godly fast and I hate it. I plan on going and just buying a new flasher but I want some other opinions first. With the change of the lights if it takes less to light the bulbs.. I would think so, but i'm asking would that make it blink faster? If thats the case its got some really stupid pointless mirrors on it that u can hardly see out of but they have turn signals in them that arent wired, and i'll just wire them for now to slow it down.

Any other ideas?

also the 4 ways blink at a normal speed. Thanks

The probably changed the turn signal bulbs to LED's which have less of a load draw on the circuit. The simple fix would most likely be to change them back to halogen. IF you like the look of them you would need to buy load resistors which they sell at autozone or you could calculate the resistance needed and buy one at radio shack. They basically make the same draw a stock bulb would but allow you to use the LED's

Thanks guys. I checked it they're just plain old bulbs. I'm going to try wiring those mirrors in some time today. I just feel like a moron sittin there at a light and i'm the only one with million mph turn signals lol

Relay

yea there is a company that makes a relay that changes the load and makes them blink faster... stupid ricer shit. if its not the bulb, make sure the relays are oem honda. if not, replace them with oem honda.

with all the switching there may be a short somewhere- check to make sure all flashers are working

They all work. I went to wire those mirrors in and the idiots sheared the wires off when they put the mirrors together. I hate it, but at least they still all work lol. If i ever find a damned job down here, i'm plannig on doin the car JDM complete. So i'll just wait I guess.

I'm beginning to dislike the body kit. Its was something different. Now again, I want something else different. So i'm going to go with JDM stuff. Gotta love Ebay lol
