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.
Damn Kerry you is one smart motherfucker! What they call a quarter pounder in Coppenhagen?

Yea I swapped out my flasher and replaced all of my signals with leds. The resisters go bad after a awhile in my experience.
