Another Fast Blinker Solution

[HondaBoy]

ive been reading yalls posts about the fast blinkers and have other people and friends asking how to do this. most people say cut the wires, then splice them to all signals have a light. well, this is a good way, but heres an easier one. ive been experimenting with different bulbs i had. i tried my brake light bulb with the 2 filaments. it worked in makeing them blink faster. its the thing with resistance. what i did was put the bulb in so the dim fliament was lit. u have to make shur its put in a certain way. i just had to turn the blub over when i didnt work. so now, i have fast blinkers. but then only thing im wondering is, are they legal? would they be considered impersinating a cop?

ive been useing my blinkers for a long time now and i havent been pulled over. in fact a cop was sitting in a parking lot right across from me and did stop me or anything. this gives them an excuse to stop you and search your car cuz they can say they thought your bulb was burnt out but thats about it.

wow, it seems like ive had fast blinkers for a long time. its realy only been about 4 days. anyway, i havent had any problems. in fact, i took my car for the inspection sticker and they said those are perfectly legal. and so is my single wiper. it passed perfectly. so its all good.

as long as they blink they are legal. the cool thing is though with my adjustable blinkers, i can make them blink so fast that they stay on continuously. looks tight cuz i have fog lights so if i turn on all my lights it looks cool. man i need sleep.

How much horsepower do you get out of making your turn signals faster? LOL.

[HondaBoy]

i believe i gained somewhere between 55-60hp. lol. hehe

i only got 25 but thats cuz i used a potentiometer which weighs alot

Thats a sweet idea to make them adjustable! Did you just trace the wire from the wire from the steering column at splice in a pot?

I've also thought about just splicing in a small resistor inline the signal wire, or finding a replacement signal blinker thingy with a lower capacity. As far as i can tell, isnt the thing that makes the signal blink just a capacitor that stores and releases voltage to the circuit? Theoretically if it was a smaller capacity, it would store/release at a faster rate right? or am i just smoking crack again...........

Woo Hoo I'm a DX User! damn newbie status.............

hey, maybe ill get a VTEC module for my 3gee. lol. for the stock A20. hehe

[88 Accord DX]

yes NX you are very close. its just a series of resistors that supply voltage. all you do it replace one of the fuses with the pot and your done.

[Justin86]

Well that is sweet. I will have to try it out tomorrow

[NXRacer]

What kind of pot did you use? Do you have to use a certain size or will any do? I'm thinking about putting one in a plate in my dashboard, but i'm gonna want one thats pretty small. Also, if you replace the fuze, that brings up the possability that something may fry because there is no fuze, right?

[88 Accord DX]

nothing will fry. all a potientiometer is, is an adjustable fuse so nothing will get burned. be sure you use a 100K linear pot. they are alot larger than a 10K but 10Ks dont give you enough resistance and you wont be able to turn the speed down at all.

and you're wheels are cheap and ugly but i'm not complaining.......to each his own......

it looks better in person and will look even better when its on there for real instead of ziptied on........

[miamidolphins187]

bitch, i just got my 3gee, the previous owner bought those wheels, they're brand new. i aint buying new wheels if i have new wheels. a 3gee is to boxy to have that body kit and what tops it off is that your body kit is a different color. AND you changed your image on the left, hahaha.

uh, isnt NX's bk just gel coated or wutever fiberglass is? i would think hes gonna paint it. oh, hey miamidolphins187, are ur head light bulbs PIAAs or Eurolite, or wut? they look pretty tight in the pic

[miamidolphins187]

they're sylvania cool blues. i added a blue bulb too.

[NXRacer]

I changed my avatar before i even saw your comment. Its not fiberglass, its poly and its painted white for now because i kinda stole it from a friend.

NXracer ur kit is tight man
