82 Clear LED Tail Lights
Just recently ordered and installed Clear LED Tail Lights from United Pacific Industries. The installation was quick and painless, but all I can get to work is the parking lights and brake lights. I ordered their 2 terminal flasher and installed it, but can't get the turn signals to work. Am I missing something? When plugging the flasher in, I noticed another flasher on the bottom right corner of the fuse block. What is that flasher for? Do they both need to be replaced? Anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance!

The flasher on the fuse panel is for the hazard lights. It will need to be replaced if the hazards are to work properly. What exactly is the flasher they sent you? You need an HD solid state electronic flasher. I believe they sell them at Autozone. Using one of those will allow you to use the LEDs without having to add resistance.

The flasher in the bottom right corner of the fuse block is for the turn signals. I just replaced mine with and electronic unit to work with LED's. The new flasher has a ground wire that must be connected to operate. Also, the flasher has to be the 'reverse polarity' type to work in this car (the X and L terminals reverse of typical).

The unit I got was the wrong polarity and I opened it up and changed it (not recommended).
I Googled the p/n and found this one that includes a 'polarity adatper':
