If you're into do it yourself, you can replace the current-measuring shunt
inside the VAG flasher with a smaller wire, or grind the existing shunt
narrower.  If you get it right you could still retain the bad-bulb rapid
flashing function (which VAG intentionally added to the flasher, it's not
necessary to its operation.  They added circuitry to mimic the behavior of
the old thermal flashers that would blink faster as the load decreased).
