i tried to search for an answer but could not find one. I own a 2006 trailblazer SS and work for a Gm garage. I installed all new LED lights in my truck tonight. They look great but my turnsignals flas very fast. Before I go to work tommorrow and have one of my techs look at it is there any info I should give him. It looks like i need to install resistors to the bulbs. Do you have to do all the turnsignal bulbs? What resistors do I have to get? any help would be great. thanks ahead of time.

First step would be to find if your vehicle has a standard flasher that you could swap, or a module that your stuck with. On older vehicles when you had this problem all you had to do was buy a no load flasher and plug it in place of the normal flasher. On newer vehicles they may have flasher "modules" rather than just the flasher itself so this wouldn't be an option in those cases. For these I would recommend wiring in a dummy bulb and just have it out of the way where it won't be seen to make the vehicle/flasher think all the lights are ok. They also sell load equalizers which would attach the same way as a dummy bulb to make the OEM system think the bulbs are OK.

I have a single flasher module. can resistors be wired instead of these load resistors? If not do i have to put these load resistors on every turnsignal? The idea of installing a signal bulb sounds interresting. will that work?
