Got led flush blinkers plug them in no work.. I know I need a relay but whats the part number I need?
I tried plugging in new turn signals last night and the blinker wouldn't blink. I think the relay needs more of a load than the new bulbs provide, and I suspect your LED blinkers are the same way.
I don't know the part number, but I'm assuming that your new relay would be somehow matched to lower-wattage lamps.

I should have done a video on this. You need a y piece with 2 diodes and a led flasher to make led's work properly. The y piece with the diodes splits the signal from left and right and is wired in you dash or as I did in behind the headlight. The led flasher slows down the blink rate to a more normal rate

The 2 diode method is only for the indicator on the later models, not the blinkers themselves right?
Indicators and blinkers are the same thing different word. This stops all 4 blinkers coming on at the same time.
By indicator i meant the turn signal light beneath the gauges, but good to know they all blink without it. This is still just the newer models though right? Mine are all LED currently, but they don't all come on at once, the side I engage just stays solid after the first blink.
It doesn't matter if you have a normal bulb or a led one, because the actual indicators draw so little current the flasher can can't detect it so they all flash or not at all.
