L.E.D. Lights
Actually L.E.D lights
I bought red led lights for stop / parking and they work fine.
Bought Yellow led lights for turn/parking for front and rear
I had to take them out because they flash on/off 5 times as fast - is there a different type relay i can use to slow the flash down ?
When i put the front led blinkers in the flashers don't work at all,
and the you can hear the relay humming.
any idea ?

You need a LED flasher. The stock ones need two bulbs to work right. The LEDs draw less current and sometimes you can't even get a flasher to flash at all.

I'm thinking of getting these for my brake lights and not flashers, do I need anything special?, also where did you get them?

eBay - the brake light led just plug and go nothing else needed.
I bought the 24 led red lights, the clear ones are cheaper.
I didn't want to spend very much on them and the led light that have more leds cost more the 24 were like 5$ each now it turns out i have to spend $15 more to make the blinkers work or homebrew something similar, they have just been sitting on the shelf for weeks with no time to work on them. leds are not brighter but more of a vivid color , i like the red leds on mine, they look like red dots, plus they will go a loooong time before burning out keeping jonney law from messing with you.
note : they are from china they take a long time on a slow boat to get here to the states but they do work, shipping was free, look nice to me.
