Default Flasher for LEDs

I know that BBengineer makes flashers for LED turn signals but he is too expensive. What have other people done as far as resistors for LED lights. I have LED tails and LED turn signals. The tails already have resistors in them but now that a switched out the front I need some resistors for them front turn signals. Any ideas?

You need a special flasher for led's. I think the original bulb style uses a thermal flasher that of course led's don't put out and make your taillights look funky. Ran across a similar problem in our impala when I made sequential taillights.

I love the fact that superbrightleds.com is 30 minutes away from me

I just bought the resistors off Vleds.com. I am going to try those first before I go do something with the flasher. Right now it doesn't bother me that much but I would like to fix how fast they blink. I also don't want to pay $110 for BBengineer to fix my flasher.

Lol $110 is too expensive unless you can do like a core charge. It's my DD and I can't not have signals for too long. Sorry not trying to bash your prices. I actually sent you an e-mail.
