Default Fast Right Turn Signal

My right turn signal suddenly started blinking at twice the speed as it used to. The left turn blinker is still the same. Anyone know what could be causing it? I actually kind of like it, so if I could mod the left blinker to also speed up, that would be awesome.

Check for a burnt-out turn signal bulb...

Not to be taken as rude, but I often see the speed-blinker mod applied to various trashed, slow POS's around my town.
It blinks at a faster speed to alert you to the malfunction. I'm sure you can mod them, I don't know how, something electrical....crowbar?

That was my first guess, I checked all turn signals and the bulbs seemed fine. I upgraded to clear corners several months ago, so I am assuming it has something to do with that, but none of the bulbs were burned.

I have the same problem in mine. The middle bulb on the right side doesn't light up like it should when I use the blinker, but it isn't burnt out because it lights up when pressing on the brakes. What gives?

If it's a bulb in the brake lights, then it's a double filament bulb, like a 3157 or something. Hence the active filament for when hitting brakes could be out, while the low light filament still burns when the lights are on, and vice versa. It can be out without the bulb appearing burnt. Check the filaments.
