led's and fast flasher

Newbe, Thanks in advance for any help.
I want to put LED's in my front turn signals on my 96 Tahoe but when I do the turn signals flash so fast that you can't hardly see them. I know it's a low voltage deal like when a bulb is out. Problem is the 4 prong "combination" flasher. I can't find a heavy-duty flasher and can't figure out how to slow down the flash rate. I know, with the popularity of LED's, someone has solved this problem. Could someone PLEASE help me here. Thanks

I'm not a quarter smart enough to give exact details to this, my electronic skills are mostly visual. BUT, I think I have seen your 4-prong combo flasher before, there should be a small switch of some sort, its controlled by a strip of metal and two electromagnets, so the strip flops back and forth, I can't explain it but you should be able to move the magnets closer so the response is slower.

This method is used for the really old switches, I doubt it would exist on a 96. It sounds like there is a short in the flash circut that is making your low-voltage thingy go off. So if the system thinks there is a light out, find the incompletes of the circut and solder them togeather or ground them, it should make the flasher think the lights got replaced.

Hope that helped, if it was just crap advise, let me know and I will be sure to never answer questions about flashers again:)

Peace.

I have the exact same problem on my 2000 silverado. I think that the four prong flasher is electronic and thats how it knows to flash fast when the bulb is out or it doesn't have the load it is supposed to. I know you can mount on 6 ohm resistors on each LED wire to make the flasher think it has a load. They are like 5 bucks a peice. I am a little ticked that the guy who sold them to me on ebay didn't mention anything about needing any accessories. Anyhow, I am in the progress of finding a flasher that actually works, especially since that 4 prong is a dealer only item at the moment. If anyone can find anything on this, please let the rest of us know. This will be a much bigger topic the more and more people buy the superior LED lights.
