    After the left side of my front end got hit by an suv and the turn lights all got busted, my back turn light does like 2-3 flashes a second... And the light on the dash matches it.. So just got bust out the front bulbs and see what happens lol

    Well, fast bulbs is a sign that your car is broken and/or a pos. Why would you want that? lol

    It usually indicates a short or break in wiring, or a missing or burnt bulb. If you really want it try that.
