Ok So I switched everything in my wife's 02 SS to LED Bulbs and I have an interesting issue. I put in the EL12 I believe it is flasher but it still does not work.

I am using the right switch backs and other LED bulbs because if I put in the Switchbacks the running lights work but they will not function as turn signals.
If I put back in the regular bulbs the hazards will flash but not the turn signals which I thought was just because of the new flashers.

Anyone else put in all LED's and run into this? I keep bringing up threads regarding the flasher and that's not the case for me currently so if anyone could give me some insight that would be great.

Thanks.

Old-school flashers work on a thermal principle and
need a minimum current to function, flash slow with
one bulb burnt out, etc.

I do not know if an electronic flasher would be any
better.

You might want to add something like a 10-20 ohm 10w
wirewound resistor (Radio Shack) across your left and
right turn signal legs (to ground, each) and see if this
gets it right. Now this defeats the efficiency proposition
of LED lighting, but I think you do not care.

I actually would like to avoid that solution. That's why I was hoping the No Load Flashers would solve the problem.

I used EF32RL flashers I got off eBay for my all LED setup. They are 100% electronic, where the EL12 is not, I believe. No problems with them at all.

From what I've seen, the EL12 will work if you put LED on the Front OR Rear, not Both. You'll need a different Electronic flasher for LED in All Positions. There have been a few threads on that on there over the years. There are a few different models, but you'll have to order them. However, I think there was a recent thread where someone fit a more-easily available electronic flasher from another car, but had to add an additional ground to it since it had one more prong than the stock one.

If I find the those threads, I'll link them, but you should be able to find them too.

I searched for "Electronic Flasher" and found these:
