How do I increase the turn signal blink rate?
Bryan Praditkul
I noticed a few fixed up cars around me that increased the blinking speed
of their turn signals. How would I go about doing this to my '93 civic? A
couple of my friends said something about a relay or even switching a few
wires, but no one could give me a clear description on how to do it.
Secondly, are there any downsides to this small visual modification? Can
anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks In Advance,

Experiment with different turn signal flashers. Try a new Honda OEM unit and
some aftermarket brands from your local auto parts stores. You should be able
to find some with different flash rates.

Remove a bulb somewhere or jack up the wiring. Then it'll go blinkety
blink blink like you wasted money on a flasher relay, neato, huh?! ;)
While you're at it, wire up your turn signals to come on with your
lights like all the other guys do around here, everyone needs to do
the same things, after all, because being different is lame.

Connect your bumper blinkers to the parking lights and they will stay on and stop
blinking, the rear blinkers will flash in a faster pace. That's one way to do it,
I have seen tons of people do that with the front clear corners; it makes it look
like fog lights, but your on coming cars won't know your truning.

Different wattage bulbs affect the blink rate. Try the high watt halogen
bulbs and the speed will increase.

~YOU CAN EITHER FLIP THE RED AND GREEN WIRES IN YOUR CORNERS BUT THEN YOU'RE
CORNERS WILL BE REALLY BRIGHT AND ON HIGH INTENSITY ALL THE TIME. AND YOU WOULD
LOOSE YOUR FRONT TURN SIGNALS WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE ON~.
~THE HARDER WAY TO DO IT IS TO TAKE OUT YOUR FLASHER, OPEN IT AND DE-SOILDER
THE SMALLER TRANSISTOR AND REPLACE IT WITH A SMALLER ONE FROM RADIO SHACK FOR
$.49. PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER AND YOU'LL HAVE QUICK SIGNALS WITH THE LIGHTS ON
TOO.~
