Im fixin to get the LED red led bulbs from superbrightleds.com. It says something about a lower current and not flashing. Does that mean my blinker wont work if I replace these?

Just top off your blinker fluid and you'll be fine.

Lol but no seriously. You'll just need to get a new flasher module that's meant to be used with LEDs. Look back at previous posts in this thread an you should find a lot of talking about this.

You will still get hyper flash issues with it blinking fast. You need to change the flasher module

Is there a particular one you recommend? Would this work? http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...asher/780/834/

Any 5 pin will work, nothing really specific. I got one ASAP because I felt embarrassed every time I clicked the switch...

I got mine off ebay, though it was the only 5 prong I could find on there. Either way, it all does the same thing.

Here's one. They have it listed as typical use for ford trucks, an says it has no minimum load which means it will work with LEDs and eliminate hyper flash. So you could either get this or find something that has the same pin layout, seeing you need a 5 pin like this.
