Default What going on!!!!!!!!!!!

Installed knew drl and parking lamp assembly today. While I had it apart I thought I would replace the bulbs since they were a pia to get to. I went with LED bulbs to reduce the heat. My problem is the turn signals blink super fast now. Do I need to go LED all around, different flasher or what. Also found out that LED's only work one way

You need a hyper flash relay. Google it and you will see.

Is there any difference eg brighter than stock? I bought some LED's and could not figure out what the advantage would be aside cool bulbs but the in line resistor gets real hot if used for long time.

I had the same issue after installing new tail lights. Hyper flash relay fixed it.
