Default I got me a fast blinker

My left blinker is all of sudden blinking twice the speed as my right. I know this normally means that you have a light out, but both my front and rear are working. I did recently put in OEM HIDs but that was a couple weeks ago.

Ideas?

Did you replace the blinker bulbs as well?

I think there are a total of 4 blinking bulbs per side... Are all of them blinking?

It's always the last bulb you check.


Or a weak ground / low voltage
Harness plugged in correctly
Some bulbs have duel filaments

Thanks for the replies. I didn't know there were 4. i just looked front and rear and saw them blinking. I did not replace any other bulbs when I changed out the head lights.

Must have purchased the optional health maintinence report. The blinking means its time for your prostate exam. Good luck.
