It's an el-12 flasher that you'll need. It's an electronic flasher, not thermal like the stock ones. LEDs won't flash with the thermal ones. You can get these at autozone. Made by Tridon, I believe.

I was always under the impression that the EL-12 is the "go-to" flasher for LED applications. There seems to be some conflicting results because each set of LEDs you go with are different. My suggestion would be to just try it out. They're cheap so it's not really a huge loss if it doesn't work. If that doesn't work, there are no load flashers which should do the trick.

Yeah. There's a flasher for your hazards too though. I would wait till someone else chimes in though because I have yet to do this. It's been on my list for a while, but I was just going to replace all lights with LEDs and plug in the EL-12 for the turn signals and hazards.

I just replaced all the bulbs (front & back) with led bulbs from a company called superbrightleds.com, and both flashers with electronic. Everything worked.. even the DRL still work although I expected they wouldn't!
It's a good idea to get led bulbs that shine sideways as well as forwards, (some don't, or not much) because otherwise all the lamp area isn't lit fully with leds.

you can check out my turn signal i did there. unfrtunately its for my 95 but youll get the idea. im using a PWM so that theyll be dim with the running lights and get brighter when the signal flashes.
