I believe you need a load equalizer for them. They draw alot less power and your truck thimks the bulb is burned out hence the fast flashing signal in the cluster.

There is no flasher relay to change. Its all done in the SJB. The SJB makes the noise as a relay cuz everyone is use to the noise. I don't know if there is anything to help you as far as aftermarker but I know there was an SSM for that problem on some cars.

if I'm not mistaken, one on each side would do it; it doesn't matter front or rear

What kind of LED bulbs did you use? Where did you get them? Some leds have load resistors made in to the base to prevent this. Do you like the light output of them?

ok so I went to the ford dealer after some research the new 2010 ford f150 has no turn signal relay they(ford) tell me its in the computer and they did not recommend wiring in the load resistor to factory wiring ugh! so i took out the led tailights gonna send them back and i ordered the complete led tail light with the load resistor already installed. dunno for sure what im goona due with the front turn signals i did leave in the led side marker light all good for now.
