Hey guys dunno where I should post this mods please move to appropriate place. I got a set of led tail lights off ebay. Had a set before worked fine, but she was in the shop and one got backed into with tractor (not my doings lol) so I ordered a new set. After I put this set in my blinkers blink fast and all my lights work. It's just really annoying to me anyone had this problem?
 
Mine blink fast somedays and slow others never figured it out I just got use to it
 
well obviously they don't have enough resistance. I wonder if there's a different blinker I can put in my fuse box maybe??
 
A friend of mines truck did the same thing if had them in the front and in the back something with the resistance messes with it. Not sure on the fix but let me know cause I want some for front and back but don't want that annoyance
 
You need a heavy duty blinker. Blink off of time not load. They run about 8 bucks at the parts store.

This. LED lights don't pull enough if there aren't enough of them.

It is very rare problem you must ask them to replace the lights.
 
You don't need a heavy duty flasher if you run LED's. It is the opposite. The classic flashers run off a piece of bi-metal that warps when it gets hot. The current through it causes it to flash at a certain speed. If you put LED's on and the current through the flasher is reduced, you will get a much slower flash. You must have a short if the flash has increased in speed. Likely in the wires.

Chances are your harness is cut somewhere.
 
^^^^ yes.

"Electronic LED Flashers have no minimum load-12VDC. Eliminates the need for load resistors"

The "heavy duty flashers" have a larger minimum load than even the normal ones.
