Electronic flashers

Anyone uses one?

I plan on swapping my front turn signal to LED's and I don't want to use load resistors..

only thing is I don't know which one would work? the GM one might but it's not universal either..

also, where is that thing located??

Thanks!

Its illegal in Canada to have them flashing faster than the normal speed, the say its a distraction to other drivers.
Thats why the relay is part of a safty inspection, or it was when I had to get one done a few years back...damn cops

If you think about it, the "distraction" actually gets the attention of the person behind you better, right? So, you should fail inspection because of it. Lol

meh it's not really to be legal it's just cause I don't really like the way it looks...

and resistors look complicated whereas this would be plug and play.

anyone?

resistors aren't complicated all they do is soak up power and turn it into heat effectively making your led lights pull as much power as the normal filament ones so the computer no longer thinks they are blown.

I'm just not very sure how you gotta install them with the cables? I mean I know on which cables you gotta put 'em on but how do you do it?
