You might just need a new flasher, I forget which one it is exactly. Ask Brian, he had to get a new flasher for his LED Switchbacks, he can probably tell you.

Stock flasher will not flash the LEDs at all. You need an EL12 flasher

When you replace the stock incandescent signal bulbs with LEDs, you need to replace the stock thermal flasher with an electronic one because it will no longer work properly. One example is a Tridon EL-12 which is available at auto parts stores for $8-$12. It is a plug-and-play replacement.

A word of advice about these from someone who's made this mistake:

Make sure you buy something with a LOT of side-facing LEDs. I bought a "matrix" bulb with 15 front-facing LEDs and only 9 side-facing bulbs. They were virtually invisible in daylight because the reflector was not filled with light. Try to find something with at least 20 side-facing LEDs, preferably more.

Definitely stick with one of the "tower" designs (there are a few and the newer ones have better output).
