The resistor solution is a kludge, basically adding 2 little 'heaters' to the wiring harness. IMO, a much better/cleaner solution (and cheaper, vs. buying properly rated ~5W 'load' resistors which won't burn out eventually) is to replace the stock flasher element with an 'electronic' flasher which isn't load-dependent, and had a constant rate of flash. Tridon EL12 (2 prong, for turn signal only) or EL13 (3-prong, for hazards) flashers are available at pretty much any auto parts place for under $10. The only down-side to that route, is that if you still have incandescent bulbs in the circuit (like LED front, stock rear) the flash rate won't change to indicate that a bulb is burned out.

![]() Yea I swapped out my flasher and replaced all of my signals with leds. The resisters go bad after a awhile in my experience. |

![]() You mean the flasher unit.

Use higher wattage resistors.
