Sounds like a short, or you have left something unplugged.

LED's use less current, thus less load. There is a device/curcuit that controlls the flash rate (looks like a solinoid), due to the less load it blinks faster, just like if a bulb was blown, i'm pretty sure these solinoids can be replaced with a differant rated item.

Just have a vague idea, but am not sure

did you replace every indicator globe with LEDs??

or only some of em??

i think you need to put resistors in. there are a few threads in here somewhere covering it.

on ebay you can buy electronic flasher units. As al said leds draw less current and the mechanical flasher units that come standard work of the load drawn through them. When i got my car it had little indicators on the front, so indicators went fast. bought one of these units, plugged it in. (flasher unit is just under the steering wheel on the left side), i just unplugged the stock one and plugged in the electronic one and zip tied it next to it cos i couldn't work out how to get it out I bought a few things from this guy, stuff normally comes from honkers but he's good and reliable.

Does anyone knows how many flashers unit is needed ? something similar to a relay ? any link to how to fix this ?
