Default Blink quicker

I have seen it on a few cars but does anyone know where to get the specific part that makes your turn signals blink quicker than usual? or what its called or what i have to do to make them do this?

A lot of times when a blinker blinks quicker, it is a result of low-life left on the bulb...

I thought it usually blinks fast when one of your turn signal bulbs are burnt out.

yes exactly both your turn signals act as if the other one is about to burn out but not really this is just how they blink reguarly. In our cars our turn signals go something liek this tick....tock.....tick....tock I want tick.tock.tick.tock I want it to be very quick almost aggressive as if i want to change lanes quickly. Can someone help me out as to what it is that i need to get my turn signals to do this? I hope this was clear enough as to what im looking for ^^^ thanks

i think i know what your talking about, ive seen people use them in my area.

I wondered why peoples lights were flashing so fast so, This will prove how smart my dad is lol he told me that they are just fuses you replace that allow for quicker flashing. Ttry asking pepboys or autozone im sure they'll know exactly what it is.

I am curious as well as to how it REALLY works

the ecu controls the flash speed so good luck with that

but you can get sequentials for the rear

This was usually done by replacing the stock flasher with a hevy duty flasher. Theheavy duty flasher was used to handle the extra load of trailer lights. When no trailer was attached, the signals flashed faster. If the flash rate is controlled by the ECU then you might be S.O.L.
