Turn Signal / Parking Lights
I am planning on installing LED's in the front for the turn signal / parking lights (Amber 3157's). I am trying to avoid hyperflashing (sounds like a disease), and know that it is common when installing LED's from standard bulbs. I do not want to install in-line loads or anything like that. I am thinking that there are plug and play replacement flashers available. I am unsure though if we have two flashers, or one for all?

Im going to run the load resisters....
6ohms ...each side.front ..... Got 4 for like 9 bucks on ebay.

I just did this and found there is only one flasher underneath your steering collumn. I picked up an electronic flasher at autozone for 10 bucks and it worked beautifully. The flasher is a tridon 12 volt 5 terminal. It's model number is EP27. You can pick one up at pretty much any automotive store.

The flasher change is best if you ever need to install a conventional filiment type bulb when an LED bulb fails. The LED type flasher works for all types of bulbs (filiment or LED).
On the other hand, if you install LED bulbs in the back (brake/parking lamps), then you will need the load resistors in the brake circuit as bobkyle2 states, as the LED bulb renders your cruise dead. The cruise circuit measures the voltage/amp load in the brake circuit to enable the cruise.

Yep... Im going to go the flasher route.... Ill use my resistors on another project
