A fix for the fast blinking is to put a resistor on the power wire of turn signals.
That's what I did on all my bikes when I switched to leds. Don't know if relay would work in this case, cause it might control more than just signal..
btw, how come the manufacture didn't realize that before putting in market for high price of 575+, could at least include those grommets!![hilarious](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/smLach2.gif)
nice product tho.

1. Hyper blinking with the lights on is still an issue. Not an issue with lights off.
2. Napa ordered me the wrong LED flasher (we need a three prong not a two prong)
3. Swung by Kragen - their Electronic Heavyduty flasher was worst than the original one - hyperflash lights on or off.
4. Napa will have the three prong LED flasher tomorrow for me - if it works I'll post the part num.
With all the different symptoms people have had with these, it would seem the problem is with the flasher and not the lights. update tomorrow with Napa flasher deal.
Lights do look awesome - now I gotta do the fronts somehow.

I greatly appreciate you in pioneering this effort to help the community figure out a solution

Install Followup
Installed the passenger side light and it fits much better. The bracket on the car that holds the two prongs can be adjusted up/down. I fiddled with that bracket on the driver's side and it looks pretty good now. The large gap is no longer an issue.
A rubber grommet is still needed on the opposite side though.
Turn Signal Blinking Pattern
I do not experience the fast turn signal blinking. My car is model year 2000 with regular headlights (not Litronics or HID).
Backup Light
Edwin, the connector you instructed us not to connect is the back-up light, correct? I wonder if a resistor can be placed inline to prevent a blown fuse. I can put a voltmeter to the factor connection to see what juice it pulls. Anybody have suggestions?
Looks Awesome
I'm very pleased w/ the look.

I'm glad to hear you got everything worked out. The light to not plug in is not the reverse light but the wedge bulb/parking light.
It may seem that the mk1's don't have an issue b/c Doug (2000) and our 996 (1999) doesn't have the hyperblink issue
For those with the hyperblink issue, what year is your 996?
