I installed some LED tail lights now my blinkers blink fast. Anyone have this problem? Thanks

Easiest way to resolve that is install load resistors at each bulb.
Or find LEDs with load resistors built in.
Outside of that you can run LED tails if you remove the blinker module and unsolder the shunt resistor and replace with (can't remember the resistance of the top of my head) a resistor. Then you're good in the rear with LEDs only front will still hyperblink with LEDs tho
I went all out and bought a TapTurn module and completely rewired everything to work and now my turbo car has TapTurn and all the stuff that comes along with it

What resisters should I get?

give me a few, ill be heading out to the shop in a bit to finish up the trans install in the turbo car. ill find it and get you a spec. all i can remember currently is it was a ceramic resistor

Didnt forget about this, just took me a while to find this Anyhow after the flasher is removed from the vehicle and the board is removed from the housing this is what you've got This is the resistor youre looking for, 0.47 ohm 5w And this is how you bend the legs to fit it in the case This is how it was done back in the day for LED tails and I ran this way for years

If I dont go that route what kind of resister do I look for?

Load resistors like these will have to be installed for each bulb : iBrightstar 50W 6ohm Load Resistors for Fix LED Bulb Fast Hyper Flash Turn Signal Blink Error Code a.co/d/2fAyPHtJust remember they get really hot so securing them somewhere they won't damage anything is important
