    Install the resistor across the leads of the LED to create a greater load which emulates an incandescent bulb so the flasher will "flash" at a normal rate.

    As I mentioned in the other thread sometimes, such as in my truck, it's much easier to use a resistor than a flasher.

    That's pretty much what a package of 2 are going for at local auto parts stores Fred. These are intended for consumers to just wire in so I don't think it's too bad of a price myself.

    I'm sure an buying a single resistor, if you knew what to buy, at Radio Shack would be cheaper but not easier to install.

    Dayum, well whatever the market will bear I suppose. Meaning the cost of convenience but I'm also wishing I had the marketing idea! The markup has to be 1000+%
