you need an electronic flasher. i have LEDs in the back and they draw enough that they just flash fast, but still work.

You guys need a solid state flasher, go to your local parts store find out what flasher you need and get a solid state version or a LED safe or compatible 5 prong flasher. Should be around $15. I did LED mods too

After I installed some LED bulbs, they started smoking, and some of them burned out.
I then installed an electronic flasher and it sometimes flashed at the right timing, and sometimes flashed too fast.
Do I need resistors, or no if I get a solid state non-thermal flasher?

You may have burnt up the lights. I put 2 electronic flashers, some years just need 1 and mine have worked great

What LEDs are the 97+ guys running?
I have wanted to do some sort of LED retrofit ever since I put in my HIDs, but I mostly drive in the daytime and I want my turn signals to be bright as crap so all the morons around me realize I am changing lanes.
