it sounds like you're talking about Switchback LED turn signals. i had them on my previous 06 impala. Dont have them on my nitro though. If so those can be found on ebay, or other car accessories sites. make sure you understand that when you install them, they will hyperflash. i think load resistors fix that problem but i dont know enough about that.

If you change to LED turn signal bulbs, the simple fix for fast blinking can be as easy as switching the flash relay to a heavy-duty or electronic flasher relay. The relay should be mounted somewhere on the fuse panel. If this can't be done, mount a 6-ohm 50 watt resistor parallel to the lamp, between the 12v supply and ground. These relays can get hot, so mount them away from any plastic, in an area that can dissipate the heat.

Isn't fast blinking also caused when your bulb is about to blow?

nope, its after your bulb is gone.

As leds use less power the car thinks they are burnt out, so it does the fast flash to alert you.
