82 Toyota Pickup turn signals blinking fast

My turn signals for both directions seem to be on meth. They blink extremely fast inside and out. Bulbs aren't burnt out and they are nice and bright I can't figure out what it is, it's driving me mad!

Make sure you have the correct bulbs, any decrease in load makes the flasher cycle faster. if all 4 corners work and all 4 are the correct ones try replacing the flasher. If you or a previous owner put in LED lights without a load resistor that is your problem.

I will check if they are the correct bulbs when I get home. I do plan on doing LEDs so thanks for letting me know about a resistor
