The 18W vs 21W bulb difference seems too close to make the flasher hyperflash but it might be it.

One way to test this out is to put a load of two 21W bulbs on the flasher. It should then flash at normal speed. You can do this by removing both rear turnsignal bulbs leaving just the front two 21W bulbs in the circuit. Then hit the 4-way flasher and see if two 21W bulbs makes it flash normally.

OK, shameless plug here: you could install an EP26 flasher and replace the bulbs with LEDs like these ones. These are for the Hella 911R fixtures like yours. This is the 2nd set I've made. I forgot how cool these look with 48 LEDs jammed into a 2 inch diameter circle. These are very bright. One set are brakes with red LEDs and the other are turnsignals with 1/2 in amber and the other half running lights/brakes in red.

The bases are printed and replace the entire base/sockets of the OEM unit.
