Default Someone please answer!

I posted this in the stereo and electronics and no bodyanswered. figured Id try here... since more ppl hang out in this section...

Few quick questions
And this is for a 2001 Trans Am

1. On the front driving lights or marker/signal lights which ever you prefer to call them, which wires going into the light socket are for the Power Ground and Signal??

2. I installed the sequential tail lights and the kit says it works with LED bulbs. Problem is the more LED bulbs I add the slower it signals.
Example is
Two regular bubls + one LED bulb = Slow sequential
One regular bulb + Two LED bulb = Real slow sequential
All three LED bulbs = Forever to sequential

What do I need to fix this??

Thank you

the stock flasher relay works off of the load from the bulbs in the circuit. If it sees the load (number of bulbs) it's designed to see it flashes like it's supposed to. Adding more load would make it flash slower and removing load would make it faster. When people replace their bulbs with LED's (which are way more efficient and represent very little load) they usually replace the flasher relay with an electronic flasher that flashes the same speed regardless of the load it sees. You need one of those. They are easily found at your local parts supplier.

EL 12 I belive. Any part store should be able to look it up. Just make sure it is electronic.
