Default LED Taillights

Do all LED taillights make the turn signal flash faster? Such as indicating a bad bulb? Do Recon lights not do this?

May have to add a load resistor to each light. The regular bulbs have more load. Than leds

I do too. But the left one has started flashing really really fast. I was told that cheap brand lights aren't "smart". Lights such as Recon draw less power but still send the right amount so it doesn't register as a bad bulb.

Not sure about this truck, but on my Ranger I had to swap out the flasher for LEDs. It was located under the driver side dash. This takes care of the hyperflash. Napa part # EP27L. $20.
