Sorry about teh bad link try this one. (towards the bottom of the page. Above the resistors)
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...rn.html#Table4

and yes they are both relays but that is supposed to fix the problem also.

straight from superbrightleds web page:
Electronic LED Flashers

Many types of LED compatible car and universal motorcycle flashers
You should definitely use one of these instead of Load Resistors if we have one to fit your vehicle. They operate at the correct flash rate with LED or standard filament bulbs
10~15 Volts DC - Flash Rate: 80 per minute

That's the one I have and it works perfectly. They will still blink just a fraction of a second faster than stock, but just a tiny little bit.

I personally don't like the "ricey" lights. I want the nice Black LED ones that they seem to sell for EVERY OTHER vehicle on the planet but ours.

Me too. I looked everywhere for those kind before I bought mine. I can't believe no one made them for ours. They even made them for the 1st Gen Blazers but not ours.

Ok cool, has anyone else put LEDs in the Front Corner lights? If you have, did you have problems with the arrows in your cluster staying on, as in being lit solid all the time.

RangerG the tail lights you have, there are two bulbs in that top "bubble" right? and the bottom circle is just a reflector? how do they look lit up?

Do you think you could put one of your LEDs from your tails in one of the corners up front to see if you had the same problem as me? That would be great. Maybe the LED flasher from superbrightleds will fix that too.

Thanks guys so far for all your help and info.

Leads back to your flasher. less resistance in the line will make the indicators on your dash light up solid.
This happened to me when on of my front signal bulbs fell out of the socket.

So is there any Mod to the flassher you can do to prevent that signal from being sent to the cluster?
or any other fix?

you need to buy a HD electronic flasher, not just a HD flasher.

the electronic one has a preset flash rate, and isn't affected by current load (or lack there of).

May be a bad flasher, then. That's very odd.
I would get the LED flasher you mentioned.
