They blink at the same time, but the nature of an LED, 17' lights, verses a halogen makes it seem like they are not totally in sync. LEDs are an instant on/off where as a halogen in comparison fades in and out. Technically they are turning on and off at the same time but this trait makes it look like that is not the case.

Hm, interesting. I will have to look into this more.

I'll try backing up my car close to a wall and then standing in front and watching the front blinker to see how close it is in timing to the rear LED on/off.

Dont misunderstand there is nothing wrong with it, the car and lights are working fine. Its just a noticeable/annoying thing to some people.

I did switchback LEDs in the front on my Camry, oem halogen still in the rear. I tested them and could see the fading in and out as compared to the instant on and off of the LEDs, it was rather annoying. I had to get LEDs for the rear asap.

Yeah, it would be nice to have everything uniform.

But, I don't know how often it would happen in a real world situation where someone would be viewing both your rear and front turn signals at the same time and notice the difference.

Yeah, as long as they work it is ok. I do agree that most people would be like, mhhhhh whatevers. But to know that my car is doing that every time my blinkers are on would bother me, thats just me though. For me, its not that someone is noticing it, its just the thought that the lights are behaving that way.
