Turn Signal Blinks Too Fast

Hi Guys
I just installed Recon LED taillights on my 2006 2500. Now when I use the turn signals they blink normal about 3-4 times then it starts to blink fast kind of like when a bulb is out. I checked the lights and they all working. Any ideas what is causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

You might replace the flasher with a heavy duty one for towing. The flashing rate on a heavy duty is not controled by the load from the lights.

Most stock flashers work on load. LED's draw very few amps compared to incandescent bulbs. Most heavy duty flashers meant for towing are electronic, and do not depend on load.

You can also buy special flashers specifically for LED lamps. But I think they're the same thing as HD flashers, but cost twice as much.

I have the Recons on my 05 and they work perfect.Have had them for about a year now and 0 problems with them.Flash like the stockers as they have resistors built in.Maybe check the connections at the lights.
