LEDs have such little load they can't cause a relay to cycle so you need a relay for LEDs or you can put a resister in the line to simulate a buld and keep the old flasher you have

 

There's also custom units that you can program how they flash, if you can't find them for a car, look for them under motorcycles.

as said above its a different relay

 

also, not worth putting the standard LED bulbs in the stock tail housings, cant see them in the day, and look like dots at night, i took mine back out, i had 4 rear LED with the standard advance el12

The turn signal flasher is square shaped as opposed to the round shaped hazard relay.

So its one of the 3 relay looking boxes next to the hazard, i pulled one looks like they are 4 prong, anyone have any luck mating an EL12 to that, and how ...

i have turn signals! took some pics the Flasher relay for the Turnsignals is the Black box under the drivers side dash(no the gold metal boxes), right next to the hazard flasher... looks nothing like a traditional flasher

I'm going with the spider lights for that reason... You can also vary the color of the regular ones, white and yellow are way brighter than red, but red looks best in there if there's enough of them.

Nice Find Fuze... i think im going to try them. i cleared my lenses , but as u say they are still pretty DIM in the day with the regular multi LED bulbs, these might make a big difference

problem is, its still the same as the normal led version, still going to be a spot. you need a led bulb that puts light to the side as well, to reflect off the reflectors and spread the light
