That was my suspicion, i bought it on amazon, do you know how much resistance you need for the blinkers?

Oops I read that wrong. I guess the older jeeps are wired differently than the 01s. Superbrightled has two different resistors listed for the 96. I'm not sure which one you need but don't resistors only fix hyper flashing?

No, not sure if I ever did know the amount of resistance required. Maybe check the website of the maker of the LEDs you bought?
