Recently I have been experiencing a problem with the left turn signal blinking rapidly from time to time. I attribute this to the possibility of the LED strip I installed to failing. I stopped by Autozone and purchased a new pair of LED's and will swap them out this weekend and report back if the problem is resolved.

LED lights use less power, in my experience when swapping out reg with LED on work trucks, we need to install a resistor, because the truck senses the draw, if the draw is too low it thinks the light is burned out and blinks fast.

Since yours are LED to begin with and you ADDED more I find it strange that you get the fast blinking. 0.o

Well I disconnected the mirror installed LED's and the problem persisted intermittently. After further investigation I found a left rear tail light that was failing. I replaced said bulb and reconnected my reflector LED's and the world is right again.
