Turn and emergency flashers

I have an annoying hyper-flashing turn signal and emergency flasher. I have not pulled out the turn signal flasher yet but did see the emergency flashers as a Littlefuse brand 552/536. I cannot find any specification within the FSM or the Operator's Manual. Any thoughts on how I can get theses to flash at a normal rate?

From Littlefuse data sheet:

Design
Thermal: Thermal (Bi-Metal) flashers are
a mechanical device that operate through
the heating and cooling of a bi-
metal strip, opening and closing the
contacts, causing the lamps to “flash”.

THERMAL FLASHERS
Universal Variable For Domestic Cars
• Universal design replaces most popular
part numbers 536 and 552.
• Replaces 12-volt, two terminal flashers.
• Capacity
– Turn Signals: Flashes two to three 32
C.P. standard or long-life lamps.
– Hazard Warning: Flashes two to six
lamps.

I wonder if I would have better luck with one of the two following types:

Variable: Variable load flashers will handle
a range of lamps as needed up to the total
specified.

Exact: Exact load flashers will flash only
the number of lamps for which it is rated.
These are typically for OEM replacement
applications.

Just get an electronic style flasher, It will flash regardless of bulb amp load or a combination of led and standard bulbs. :D

But will it have that authentic "twang-y" sound? :P
