| ZG - I don't really know what you're asking here... did you install LED lights turn / stop lights on your rig, and now it's not blinking? |

Hi ZG - some people run into this problem.
Most people can get away with running a heavy-duty flasher (not those cheap standard-duty, tin units).
Also, some flasher circuits require a load within the circuit in order for the armature in the flasher unit to fire. To do this, you can add a small resister on the positive side of the LED wire. Just go to radio shack and ask the geeky kid that works there, what a standard 1156 bulb's resistance is. If he doesn't know, he can throw one onto an ohm meter, and then find two resistors of the same ohm. Then you just solder it into place and tape it up.
Hope that helps,
Rick |

| You can also wire in a regular bulb on the line, just hide it where the light will not be seen. We did a friends TJ and had the same issue. He had a set of side marker lights laying around. We put them on line with the turn signals, hidden under the hood and covered the lens with black tape. The resistor is the better solution but the light was there and was free. |
