Led flasher

Led flasher
Some help from the experts.....just wired in front and rear LEDs and wired the fronts with diodes so I have both running and turns. Everything works great, but flashes quickly. I purchased 2 led specific flashers off ebay as part of the swap (so I'd have a spare) and they don't work? When I put them in nothing works. They are 2 wire and the factory is 3, but everything I read says it's the right one. Is it possible I got 2 bad flashers?? Or am I missing something?

Try the easy way:
set some resistors in the circuit, for every flasher, so the impedance goes up and the original relais works finely "thinking" they are normal, glass flashers (not leds).
I think the resistors ought to be set in serie with the flashers (not in parallel), but I'm thinking it as "load impedance" in the audio way, unsure about the flashing thing.
You need to test the right impedance btw, adding and exchanging resistors.
Normal lights are 5 Watts, ledds are what? 1Watt if it's alot?
Btw you don't need heavy resistors.. normal small ones should do the job enought since the current doesn't come that often (I mean you ain't running with plinkers ongoing all the time).
