Turn Signal bulbs blinking too fast

its gotta be one of the bulbs that are burned out check them all and make sure or if all are working buy a heavy duty flasher and it will slow your blinker lights down

fwiw when i got into a car accident my turn signals decided to also blink super fast but my hazards were at normal speed. Now prob you did not get into an accident but are the fast blinking signals an indication of some problem with the car, not necessary the bulbs or blinkers themselves?
 
it's very possible for a bulb to be bad & still work... if the filament breaks & attaches itself to the adjacent wire... the only other possibility would be a bad flasher, but bulb is way more common... if you really rule out bulbs for sure then it's going to be a bad flasher, only other possibility
 
Hello everyone. I a new member here and had a question. The left side turn signals (both front and back) are hyper flashing sometimes. It doesn't happen ALL the time but it does most of the time. Also, the flashing frequency can go from hyper to normal and back to hyper again within the same frame. The right side stuff works perfect.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? All my lights are working (no burnt bulbs, etc.) And I'm not experiencing any other electrical or light problems...it's just that one issue. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I'm puzzled.
 
Thank you for the quick reply. As far as I know, all bulbs are OEM except for a side-marker 194 bulb that i replaced on the rear left side and a side marker 194 bulb i replaced on the front right side. I bought the car used from an individual but it was barely used and i don't believe they had changed much in it. For example, when I replaced the side marker bulbs, the burnt ones were still the original Toshiba brand. I replaced them with Sylvania 194 Long Life.

@ meme405, are you suggesting I replace both front (i believe they are regular bulbs) and back (LEDs)?

For now just change the front turn signal bulbs.

I have yet to see any problems or burnt bulbs on a set of OEM FX taillights. Their built really well. Even the 2003 cars running around havnt had any difficulty.
 
OK I will do that. In the manual, it says T20 (21W) bulb number for front turn signals. What would be the equivalent bulb type/model to look for in a Sylvania brand for example?? I normally get these things from places like Auto Zone or Walmart. Thanks again for the advice.
