Default Another LED question

I just installed my clear lenses in front and was wondering if I install LED bulbs would that give me the fast flashing turn signals? Just curious.

Thanks

Yes. There is a small device that you can install to make the flashing normal. Basically it's like a transformer that transform the higher power from your car to the lower power drawn by the LED. The problem with that device is that it heats up also just like a regular bulb, so technically, you are drawing the same power from your battery which does not really much make sense because one reason to switch to LED is to draw less power.I might be wrong but that is what I understood when I read it from the manufacturer website. Don't ask me where I forgot the website name/address.
