Default LED Conversion / blinker problem

recently converted to LEDS in the rear and due to the low amp draw the turn signal flickers like crazy. Where can i find the blinker in the 98 vettes so i can put a normal led blinker to schieve the correct blink speed. The hazard blinker appears to be fine its only the turn signal one that gives me the problem.

Thanks,
Ralph

I'm not sure of the type and location of the blinker module on the C5, but I know with other GM trucks and cars, you just change out the bi-metallic blinker with one that's designed for towing. The towing one is a relay on a timer so it doesn't change with different amerage draws like the bi-metallic ones do. See if your blinker part number cross references with one that's designed for towing.
