Buy a hyper flash harness and install it. A lot better than single resisters and you will be ready for future LED swaps.

The Hyperflash harness is easy to install and works great.

I installed one just to see what happens and it flashed fast, I rather do the flasher but $60+ for a $10 setup is something I'm not going to do there must be away to add the flasher

I basically did the same thing for my modded 03 Subaru WRX. All I did was swap flasher relays, but it's a little bit different same principle basically in my C5 Z06. To each their own.

Thanks! I found that this morning and already done it very simple and works! I just could not see spending that much for what it was, yes I did have to cut one wire but its not a big deal and easy to go back to stock should i want or have to
switchback's
just put them in i'll update if i have a problem, daytime running is amber, lights on is white, turn signal is amber only witch I prefer over the amber/white flashing type
Flasher: EL12 Novita from autozone $12
I think the key to this flasher is "variable load"
