Turn signals
I have a 01 with welding bed. I put LED lights on it & the turn signals blink really fast. Is there a fix for this. I don't think it will hurt anything it's just aggravating were they blink so fast. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

One of 2 things. Inline capacitors with the wiring to add resistance is the first. LEDs use much less power so it blinks fast just like as if a bulb were burned out. 2nd thing to try, and much easier, replace your front turn signals with led replacement bulbs. It slows em down most of the time when you do that also.

Do you know were I get LED bulbs.

There are signal light flashers designed for LED's to cure the fast flashing. Some auto parts stores should carry them.
LED bulbs can be bought online, both Recon and superbrightleds.com carry them. |

I would stop at autozone and grab a set of amber led bulbs and put em in the front. Easiest way to fix it

Putting in more LEDs is not going to fix this problem trust me I went through it already. You have to find a LED 5pin Flasher relay. I found mine on ebay and they work great. They support up to 6 bulbs which means you can put a trailer on with no problems. I have searched on ebay for the one I bought but nothing comes up. I will keep an eye out if I found one I will post it in here.

That looks like it'll work. And I have most definitely had success in the past putting LEDs on the front and back and having them flash correctly.

Logical it doesn't make since. LEDs use less voltage and wattage to work. This makes the flasher think there is no lights. I had my tails in with the fast blink for a long time then I put front leds in and they didn't work at all. However if it worked for you then I can't really argue against that. :c:
