A frequent problem with LED bulbs is quick flashing turn signals... This is solved using a heavy duty flasher.

I don't know if these taillights will do that though, they seem to have alot of LED's packed in there, so the resistance may be good.

LED bulbs have virtually No resistance. He'll still need a new Flasher.

They sell the exact same tail lights on ebay for over $100 less. I can't see the quality being any different because I can't see them making the same tail lights in different qualities.

Ok, I was testing out LEDs in my tail lights and front turn signals. And yes they went on hyper flash. I was prepared for this and had already bought a heavy duty flasher from AutoZone. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...questid=533641

That didn’t help though. So I ended up modding the stock flasher by prying off one of the soders.

I don’t really like the method but it will work if nothing else does.

My question is will the "LED Flasher" from superbrightleds ( http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ction=DispCart )have a different effect than the heavy duty flasher?

If this flasher will fix it than I will get it, but I don’t want to waste time and money if it’s the same product.

The second thing I noticed is that when I put the LED in the front corners the arrows on my cluster stay lit (solid) when I'm not using them. It is very aggravating. Any suggestions?

x2 lol. I hate the LED tails. But that doesn't really help your situation.

To answer your flasher question...I can't see what you put in your cart at superbrightled's. You need to post a link to the description page, not your cart. That one you posted form autozone just looks like a big relay though. You're looking for some sort of a resistor to help with resistance as LED's have none.
