Turning signals

How do you make the turn signals blink faster?

I think it will blink faster if you replace a regular bulb with an LED bulb. Basically it will think you have a missing/dead bulb.

I got the type of bulb number off of google, just type in your car and put bulbs diagram or something similar until you find what you need. then go on ebay, thats your best bet cause they cost about $30 a pair if you get them in the store at discount or something one of those places. then just type it in on ebay and just figure out what color you want. to replace every bulb in my car i spent roughly $40

Just an FYI...the reason that LED bulbs make your car "blink faster" is because there is less resistance in the bulb. You may end up with some electrical problems after a while unless you put in a resistor.

I second the "problems may occur" comment of Btrtnezr3 above. LED bulbs with out proper resistance is quite often the cause of cruise control not working or the AT brake/shift interlock not working or MT can sometimes allow you you to start the car without the clutch depressed.
