Yesterday I say an eclipse RS on the street. As it turned lanes towards a freeway I noticed that the cars lights flashed alot faster than ours...Does anyone know how to do this ??

ummm....one of there lights were probably just burnt out....if your front turn signal is burnt up, your back one will blink faster....i bet thats what you saw....but im sure theres a way to do it doug

either a burnt out bulb or LEDs. do a search there's a recent thread called like hiper blinkers or something with the info you need. or just look down. its very recent

burnt bulb. Did it have altezza or something? I know some altezzas on use two compared to our stock three bulbs for taillights. but it has to be not enough load on the circuit.

Is there a write up for it cuz they were 2 lights so im pretty sure that one wasnt burned out....on stock taillights. they both bliked . This is the frist time I saw this its been on my mind ever since.

just replace either your front or back turn signals w/ LEDs. the different load placed on the system by the LEDs causes a different current to be drawn through the flasher relay. b/c of this it blinks at a different rate. some people that converted to LEDs actually don't like it so they buy a special flasher that is not affected by changes in load/current

I have spastic blinkers because I have led's in the back (so they can be seen through the blacked out lights). I don't like them, but haven't got around to getting a heavier duty flasher yet.

Exactly. It has nothing to do with any relay BS. I have converted all my exterior bulbs to LED clusters and I wired in a few heavy resistors in parallel with my rear circuits so the flasher unit thinks the fronts are not in. Hyper flash, and I like it. If I want to slow it down I just need to wire in resistors in parallel with both front blinkers as well.
And I have never heard of 'spasmatic blinkers' failing inspection.
