Hmm, that is not normal at all. What do you mean by "delay" exactly? It wouldn't have anything to do with the tail as turn modules. There is an issue with the flasher- that is what controls blinking function and speed. Are you using our flasher module? Please feel free to email or PM if it is easier to discuss, thanks!

There is couple of issues I have with this conversion:
Any delay in the turn signal would be the result of the flasher, not the tail as turn mod. Are you using our flasher or a different one? If there's some issue with our flasher, we'll be glad to replace it. The flasher is what controls all blinking function and speed.

Regarding the alternating flashing, that is a very simple explanation, and it is necessary for safety, actually. Here's how it works: If you have brake lights on and hit your turn signals, the light will be already illuminated from the brake light, so the turn signal flashes by switching the light OFF first. You don't want to wait for a blinking cycle (about a second) for the light to "catch up" to the next on/off cycle. We did it this way because this is how OEM vehicles work as well, again, for safety reasons. You need to indicate your turn signal immediately, not a second after you hit it.

It's actually pretty hard to even notice unless you're purposely looking for it, no one sees the front and back of your vehicle at the same time.

Front and back blink together normally, this only happens when you hit the brake and turn at the same time. To be honest, the guys here actually thought it was pretty cool.

Thanks!
