How to fix the ricer blink?

[Wufei]

Got some halo projector headlights.

We wired the halos into the turn signals in the headlights. Now my left blinker is the ultrafast ricer blink while the right one is normal. Any ideas?

The bulb is blown, just replace it and you'll be fine.

Don't think that's it. Tried a new bulb and the same thing happens.

Did you check to see that your rear turn light works? It might be that bulb.

Will double check in a bit but both bulbs seem to be blinking (really fast -_-). Also, the flashers flash at normal rates when the hazard is on.

Where did you get your bulbs from? I had that problem too so I got replacements for NAPA but it didn't do anything. In a last resort I went to Wal-Mart and bought new ones again and then everything was fine. So it's possible that you just got a bad package like I did.

Also, check fuses and all brake lights, etc

Got them from AutoZone, I already tried putting the old bulb in but it'd also blink really fast

Well you have to have a missing resistor (light bulb) somewhere in the circuit. You made sure that all the other lights work? There has to be at least one bulb that is out.

I still suggest going and buying another set of signal bulbs from somewhere else (only a few bucks). That's what I had to do to solve my problem.

there are two bulbs that blink in the rear on each side, make sure both of them are blinking, because while you may still see flashing from the fast side, it may be that the second bulb in the back is out. If you do the right signal, look at the taillights, then the left, you will see what I'm talking about, if that is the problem at least

Thanks zilo! I'll do that as soon as I'm back in town (which will be a while -_-)

Wow, I think I FINALLY figured it out. One of the two filaments in the bulb was broken , so when it was on parking lights or hazards it'd still work like normal

Btw, on Talons, the rear turn signals only have 1 bulb. I was trying to find the 2nd bulb for a bit

Is the Halo LED ring bright enough to be seen in the day? I know when I had my projectors, it was not NEARLY bright enough to be seen. Are you still using the factory corner bulbs too?

Mind the 700x700 pixel limitation please...

The LED's not bright enough to be seen in direct sunlight, but in the shades, yes. I got some Sylvania amber bulbs from AutoZone.

Oops, sorry VelocitàPaola!
