Default Where is the Thermal / Electronic Flashers in Our Car?

This thing is driving me crazy.. i have an 07impala ss and i purchased led tails, but since led dont draw as much power, it causing the turn signal to blink so freakin fast.. i hate it lol.. i need to get a thermal / electronic flasher that doesnt have the dead bulb crap on it so they blink normally, but i cant find the damn thing in the car.. anyone know where its at

I don't think there is one. You have to add it.

lol figured.. i pretty much tore apart half the front dash to find this thing.. i guess our cars dont have them.. the older cars do.. my 01 grand prix did. i had to order a resistor from vleds so it can trick the comp into thinking the bulbs pulling more current so my turn signals will blink like normal again.. right now since leds dont draw as much power as standard bulbs, my cars thinking a bulbs out.

yea i was looking through the hanes manual for our cars and in the lists of codes, there was no code for the signal and nothin in the book about it.. im just starting to think we dont got one and its being controled by the computer.. i hate having to use a resistor but its the only thing i can do to stop the turn signal was blinkin to fast..

Didnt someone on here with a GXP do LED tails, i wonder if he ran into the same problem
