Default replaced dead battery now left blinker fast flashes

So several months ago I installed JW Motoring's Halo break lights. They worked perfectly. No blinking issues at all. Winter came along and I let me vette sit to long. The battery died on me. I replaced the battery with a yellow top. Now my left blinker has a fast flash but my right one works properly (normal flash).

Any thoughts on what would cause this and how I can fix it?

Check and see if one of the left blinker bulbs isn't out. This is the warning sign of a bad bulb. Cheers

The light blinking fast usually has nothing to do with replacing the battery. As suggested already, check the lamps.

Halo LED fast blinking you will need the hyperflash harness.

That was my first thought but the fast blinking was only on the left side, not the right.

As it turns out everyone else was right on the money. It is my front blinker bulb. Gonna change it out tomorrow.

thanks a bunch for the replies gents!
