LED front turn signals

looking at replacing the bulb flush mounts with LED.

Do I need any special flasher diode to make them normal flashers?

Well if you just replace them they will blink faster than before (maybe too fast).

You can either swap the flasher with one that compensates or you can add resistors to the circuit to make the LEDs work with the standard flasher.

Yeah,when you mount LED's the flash rate will speed up.If you want them to flash at a stock rate you need to change the flasher relay.I got one for $20,can't remember where I got it,but google is your friend...

I put Watsens LED signals in for all 4 of them and did nothing to the circuit. It just blinks a bit faster. We need to go for a ride and you can check them out.
