How To: Fast Blinkers 5th Generation Civic (DIY)

[NFR_AP2]

when i did it, it blinks slower when the parking lights and headlights are on. its weird

 

[AllStockHatch]

i guess it could be different for the ej's, still blinking fast for my eg hatch

Are you sure its safe to cut the earth wire, if the live wire touches any chassis it would start a fire.

thats what imnervous about cutting this wire. seems liek sinc eyour cutting it the only reason its blinking fatser is because its shorting out right? doenst seem really safe especially if you drive in the rain

 

[Lewis M]

I just tried it by undoing the earth bolt, it blinks faster but u could hear it shorting, aswell if you left ur blinkers on by accident after a while the live wire would overheat as the current isnt being discharged.

yeah not worht it there other how tos on how to do this the "safe way" if i ever have a need for my blionkers to blink and 900000000000 blinks a second then ill do it the other way lol

 

[Destroy]

Only reason why peoples signals blink fast is because they have a bad relay, usualy from insalling side markers incorrectly. Not because it "looks cool".

hey would it work for 7th gen civics too???

 

[JohnS.]

I find this little "mod" to be HELLA annoying. I can't stand the sound of normal blinkers clicking as is.

Before APC existed I ordered some CATZ LED blinkers from japan, the voltage diff made my blinkers fast, simple as that.

i guess all you are doing is Removing the Ground... BTW Nice bumping an old thread I think someone recently asked on how to do this...

 

[manizzle]

same thing for a 7 gen?

 

[manizzle]

good write up. works jux as said to. NICE

 

[DarkCreep]

Fast blinkers are gay.

I don't get why you would cut a wire to do this. Why not just put LED bulbs in the blinkers instead? A lot easier to put back to stock that way.

here is an idea..can we get pics up of what wire to cut and tape it up? sounds stupid but it does help. not everyone is mechanically inclined or know a lot about cars. so it would serve more for guys who dont know much about cars.

 

[bmac9269]

i am totally lost in the point of doing this? can someone explain?

umm this thread is from 2004... the pics defiantly wont work man.
if you read, it says the middle wire (black one).
