that is what everyone needs to avoid doing. its not really an electronic flasher. but yet not thermal either. it still works under load in which led's do not have any. so the no load flasher is the fix. Please correct me if i am wrong.....
i have bought the EL 12 flasher for the blinker and hazards. my lights do not work unless i put a filament bulb in either both the front right and left socket.

Electronically, there is no difference between your garden-variety electronic flasher and a specialized LED flasher except for labeling (and marketing and price). An electronic flasher uses circuitry to control the flash rate regardless of load. In fact, it doesn't care if there is a load or not - as long as the load doesn't exceed the capacity of the internal contacts.
I have an ordinary electronic flasher and have switched back and forth between LED and incandescent bulbs without changing the flasher. I got the flasher originally to support my sequential turn signals. I tried LEDs and found I hated the look so I went back to regular bulbs.

Black don't confuse yourself! the sequencial tail lights have nothing to do with it. I personally wanted it to flash slower so I opted for an adjustable electronic flasher ( a modified 555).
PLAIN and SIMPLE your leds do not place enough load on your EL12 to flash, so they just stay lit. Would a EL12 from a different manufactor work? Maybe.
but a true electronic designed for 1 to X bulbs will.

ok my bad but from WHAT I UNDERSTAND no load (led's) will work with the no load flasher. i will give it a whirl and let you guys know THANKS guys for all the input

White Bird thats not true I took them apart. Tridon is even came out with a new catalog and seperates the difference between electronic and Electro-mechanical. EL12 from them is electro-mechanical. (capacitor and a coil/relay)

Flashers
I too am relating my personal trials and experiences and I also have a sequencial turns. Mine worked also but I wanted them to go slower for the effect. That's when I started disassembling the flashers to put a variable resistor in and I found out that all supposed electronic flashers are not created equal.

Check out this video see how I slowed the rate down.
