the blinkers that wont blink
so i bought all nice fancy LED exterior lights and they look very nice, only prob is the blinkers dont blink, when you put the signal on the lights just stay steady. i know that LED's use less watts then regular bulbs, could that be a problem? the blinkers blinked VERY slow with the stock bulbs so i figured there was to much strain and LEDs might help. i found the flasher for the hazards, which do work, and the horn relay and the door chime but i cant find anything for the blinkers.

I'm pretty sure the flasher for the hazards is the same one for the blinkers. If not, it should be identical and located very close to the one for the hazards.

try a new flasher. They are only like 5 bucks at the store, so its worth a try. I got like 4 of them laying around. The 4 ways will work seperately from the left and right blinkers.
The flasher is a silver orb looking think with 2 flat connectors in a v pattern. Usually its underneath the drivers side dash closer to the center console then the fuse box.

I don't know about on cars but my friend did that on his motorcycle. He had to solder in resistors for each blinker/ led. His blinkers were slow to the point that they just dimmed and brightened.
