OK, I went and took apart the flasher I removed from my car and it is just like yours (i.e. no IC and two shunts). I actually saw a third shunt running parallel to one of the relays. So there has been a spec change from Honda. So anything from here is a shot in the dark without know the original Flasher's design setpoints. The shunts are definitely in series. Here are some options:1) Remove a shunt and see if this flasher will operate, If not then you know these shunts are definitely in series with the lamps. Go to Radio Shack and pick up an resistor pot that you can adjust across a wide range and put it in place of the shunt. You can then play with the setting to see when and if the hyperflash stops. Measure the pot and you know what size you need (or just solder the pot in an leave it. Watch you wattage and heat.2) By a new flasher from the dealer. New should come with the IC and function like the one in the write-up. Bit pricey, but could avoid some hassle. You will need to know the amperage of your LED bulbs otherwise you will be back in the guessing game on resistor size.I'd try option 1 first as it is just time and a POT is cheap.The one thing that puzzles me is the third Shunt. I examined my photo from the one I modified and it is not there. So wild guess on what it does. Good Luck.
