How do I stop led turn signal fast blinking?
Can someone point me in the right direction to stop my turn signals from blinking so fast because of my led signals?
I know I need a resistor but where do I find it? and how much?
Any vendors on here sell them?
Can someone give me a direct link?
thanks

You should be able to buy flasher relays designed for LED's, I just have yet to find a place that sells them.

All that this is is a 12 cent resistor in a fancy aluminum casing. You just need to find the right value resistor and splice it in.

that resistor and fancy casing get pretty damn hot. I'd rather keep mine in a casing rather then in the open.

I doubt there's much of a heat issue. Unless you're 86 years old and drive with your blinker on nonstop. Heat shrink tubing is just as weather proof.
But I think most of my problem is with autolumination as a company. I just can't help but to bag on their stuff.
