    Menis,

    Are all the globes working on each side, as the globes will flash fast when you have any of the globes not working...

    The other trick you can do is to add a resistor across the led globe, so the flasher sees the same resistance as it would with a traditional globe. Add a 7 Ohm resistor across the globe wires, and that will fix it

    You have reduced the load of the indicator circuit by fitting the LED tail lights. The flasher relay need a certain amount of load to flash the light at a certain rate. When the load is reduced the lights flash quicker.

    You have two options, replace the flasher relay with an LED compatible one or fit load resistors to the indicators.
