So i'm driving today and I notice that my turn signals are flashing about twice the normal rate. I just replaced the front turn signal bulbs with LED ones, could this have something to do with it? Is there any way of returning them to normal? I guess it's not really a big deal, but I would like them to be the way they were before, if possible.

my experiences with leds is that if its not plugged on the right side they wont work right. not all led are user friendly. but for all this hassle for led turn signal bulbs, why not just buy some regulat 1157s and take back the leds and not worry about resistors and all that jazz
