You need to buy 2 Trident EL-12 Electronic Flasheres (one for hazards and one for L/R signals). The flashers are located to the right of the steering column, behind the "shin" panel under the steering wheel.

BTW, search is your friend:

The hazard flasher is on the left side of the steering column and the turn signal flasher is on the right side. You may be able to get away with just a new turn signal flasher because the hazard flasher will likely still work with the current draw from both rear lights.

What you need is a 2-prong electronic flasher. Electronic flashers provide a constant flash rate regardless of how much current is being drawn by the bulbs (LEDs draw far less current than bulbs). It is a simple plug-in replacement and you can get it at any auto supply store.
