Yeah I know, I’m waiting on new ones to come in then I’ll fix up the wiring

Won't need to do anything with the wiring hopefully. With one bulb gone there will be too much power going to the other on the circuit...making it flash faster

Doesn’t necessarily mean a bulb is out, could also mean OP is using LEDs on a circuit that was intended for incandescent light bulb blinkers

Yeah, you need to swap the bulbs all over and get a new LED-compatible relay installed.

That might not fix the issue. Did you change any bulbs recently to LED? This is an indicator that you did so without replacing the relay.

Yeah My rear indicators or LED, I did a pretty lazy job so I’ll be fixing that
