Ok, so I have aftermarket rear blinkers, but there is a big problem, my right side blinks twice as fast as the left side. What is going on?

LED or regular bulbs?

Legend has it you need an inline box to make LEDs blink right.

If it's 2 regular bulbs, make sure they are rated exactly the same. (40w and 40w ?)

Otherwise, I'm outta ideas...

I am pretty sure they are regular lights not LED's, the top of them are carbon fiber but I can't see inside the blinker itself to see the bulb, they are aftermarket.

There has got to be a way to replace the bulb if needed. Otherwise, they may be non-replaceable LED.

Viking, I don't think the lightbulbs are causing the problem, I think it has to do with something else, maybe the wiring or the way he installed the lights?

2 wires per blinker, ground and positive. I suppose if those are mixed up that could cause a blink rate problem. Usually it's a change in the draw on that circuit.
