Default LED light for turn signals???

I want to upgrade my turn signal light bulbs to LED. Has anybody had any luck or problems with this? I read that due to the electrical draw being so lite that the flasher relay won't work.

It'll flash faster because the LEDs draw less power. It can be corrected by adding resistors in the line or bypassing the stock flasher with something like this
But for ours it needs to be hardwired in, not plug and play.

That thread (towards the end) is how another member fixed his after trying different combinations of the inline resistors. I just ordered one the other day from the above link through CustomLED and that's what I'm going to install after I install the front LED turn signals I have on order.
