Expert Reply:
When changing from incandescent or halogen type bulbs to LEDs, load resistors are required.
For the blinker circuits you can use load-resistors like the Putco LED Light Bulb Load-Resistors # DI34ZR to prevent hyperflashing of the blinkers. This kit includes two resistors and connectors for installing a pair of bulbs as turn signal lamps. Check out the installation instructions I have attached for part # DI34ZR.
I have also included a link to our exterior LED automobile lights for you to check out. Prices are available on these product pages or you can contact our helpful customer service representatives.
