    Increasing signal blinker speed?

    As the title states, how do I go about increasing my signal's blinker speed? I have a 2000 NB. I tried removing the front bumper lens bulbs in hopes the speed would increase but to no avail.

    Maybe the car had led bulbs before and someone added resistance to the circuit to slow the flasher down. Easy solution would be to buy an electronic flasher that will flash consistently regardless of how much load on the circuit.

    Just to understand... you want to increase your blinker speed?

    And you removed what lens? The NB headlight/running/turning lights are all integrated into the headlight assembly.

    What we used to do back in the old days was take the Flasher relay and solder in a different sized resistor. You may have to experiment with different resistors to find a speed that you are happy with.

    Add Side marker lights and use LED bulbs.
