From what I have personally done is that I found the flashers not knowing which was which. The first one I replaced turned out to be for the Hazards as the turn signals did not blink. After replacing the other flasher for the turn signals they blink. Now as far as replacing just the turn signal flasher and the hazards working I do not know. I would asume not. You could replace the turn signal flasher first and see if the hazards work and if they do return the other flasher.
Short: Yes you will need both flashers replaced for proper operation of both the hazards and the turn signals.
Hopefully this will help clear up any confusion.
took the bumper off, drilled a 1 inch hole and glued a new tower led in the stock housing. and jumped the wiring
turn signals have 3 wires
1 - high (amber led)
2 - low (running light/white led)
3 - ground

They are amber for the DRL and for your running lights.
With the running lights on they flash white.
With the headlamps on they are white and flash amber.
I am not really sure why he added another bulb. I have not had any problems with them looking washed out or anything like that. You can definatly tell when it switches between the two colors.

Verdad Gallardo Nope. Just pull the old flasher out of the connector and plug the new one in. The connectors are red in color and are in a 90* shape. One on each side. Look for the connectors because you wont see the flasher itself as it is behind some plastic. The connectors should stick out the top and thats what you will see once you remove the lower dash cover.
Well Damnit!! I dont want my switchbacks to be amber while driving..that is exactly why I hate them!! THey look like **** in amber! Damnit...NOw I need to find a different option than what I have on order. I want WHITE DRL's like I have now...but LED's. DAMNIT!!

yeah i want my turns to allllways be white, i hate having amber and white fogs well im driving looks kind of tacky you know? so should i just get basic white leds? which ones just the white towers?
right..but will I still have DRL and running lights at night and signals?? all white?? that is what I want. I have ran white signals for 4 years with no issues. Can you pm me a link to what you got that works like this?? I dont want to lose the functionality of the system and the last LED towers I got would not blink..but that was possibly due to the not having the EL12 flasher also haha.

you only need one. you dont really need to do the hazzard flasher, it works, it just works slower then normal. but there id not DOT reg that says how many times per minute they have to flash.
