it had the same freeze effects after I installed the stock bulbs again and did a little test on it. after a few runs, it blinks normally again without having any freezes. weird part is, my switchbacks was working real well with the toms relay until just recently which is why I ruled out the relay right away and thought it was a busted led. when I replaced the LEDs with a new pair, it still freezes. yet now with the stock bulbs, it's working fine again. I tried it on all 3 functions (headlights off/parking lights on/headlights on) and no freezes. even with hazards on, it doesn't freeze up. so I'm guessing the majority that responded was right about the relay. will order one again and see if that would change anything. the relay is just a pain to install but I'll do it since switchbacks just looks way better than the stock ones + I hate that my headlights are 6000k, my signal lights are amber, and my fogs are hyper yellow. too much color contrast. lol. btw, the relay that you're using, is it the stock one or did you purchase one with your switchbacks?

I got mine from True Street Industries... they used to be a vendor on here back in 2012 but they left the forum I think. If I had to buy a relay today though, I would choose from either the TapTurn or Diode Dynamics.
If you want the best possible relay, I would recommend the TapTurn from @

It's pricier but you get bunch more functionality, plus the regular turn signals won't have that slight delay when you start to signal.
A cheaper alternative, but from a real reputable source is @
Diode Dynamics
You'll need the CF18 (LM449) from them. I personally never tried that relay from Diode Dynamics since I already have one but I've bought a lot of stuff from them, their stuff is high quality and they provide good customer service.

or if you want to package it with new switchbacks bulbs too:
