Exclamation 02'Hoe Led 3157 turn signal Flashing rapidly

I just replaced the 3157 bulbs (Turn signal) on my 02 tahoe with 21 Led amber bulbs.But now when i use my turn signals they flash really quick.Is this bad in any way?Just hoping to get some feed back on this.I think it looks cool now that they flash so quickly but the clicking sound inside is kind of anoying.

LED bulbs don't put as much of a load on the system as incandesent bulbs do. To fix your problem you need to replace the flasher with one that supports LED bulbs, or change back to incandesent.

You can put a "heavy duty blinker stat" in and it should fix the problem. Right now the regular blinker stat "sees" the led bulbs as a blown bulb because they don't use hardly any electrical load.
