Default What LED Flasher?

I have a 1995 and put LEDs in the back. I wanted to know what is the correct LED flasher to use and where to buy it. I bought a universal one from NAPA with a ground and it didn't work. They have some at superbrightleds.com but I can't decide which one of the two with two prongs is correct. Help is much appreciated lol

I matched my thermal flasher to an electronic flasher with the same prong setup. I got it at Napa out on the aisles.

The caveat here is that it only works with one turn signal (front OR rear) as LED, not both. You need to retain some level of electrical load for the electronic flasher to work. For swapping ALL signals with LEDs you will need a special flasher, like from the site you mentioned. I have my rear flasher as a LED and it works great.

I reread the OP-are you referring to what kind of sockets will work with the lights? Are these stock taillights sockets your splicing in? How much power do the LED's need v the originals- Maybe you need a bigger fuse (i.e original is 7.5 LED's need 10) -I just pulled that from nowhere BTW... Hope I'm not way off topic there, Ive been rewiring my lights lately to add new stuff..

what i am referring to is that when you use leds in stock turn signal sockets then your car either doesnt recognize them or they blink too fast. I replaced my stock flasher for a universal led flasher from napa but it didnt work. I just ordered one from ebay and im going to try it out. The main reason i need it is because i bought clear corners and didnt want an ugly amber bulb, and the taillights look way better also.

Your issue is only in the front or rear? Got it- I'm slow sometimes- mine are all clear as well- i use the LED flashers- recheck your wiring and ground- (by wiring I mean splicing points.. if you bought LED flasher sockets and still had an issue I would think the problem lies elsewhere.. I have 2 LED bulbs in the rear- LEDS in the front flashers, but I also am using Altiza taillights..
