Default 2006 turn signal full replacement

So I've researched the topic on hotbodies flush mounts and rear undertail eliminators that remove the stock turn signals and relocate the lock. >
http://fatbikez.com/hotbodies-racing...unpainted.html
I got that, but for 06 obviously.

I fully understand how to wire these components, but my worry is the operation of the turn signals once it's all hooked up.

I will be installing hotbodies front flush mounts and rear underbody tail with two led's on side, today.. Just want to know if i need to buy the resistors for each turn signals, so they will flash at the same rate as stock? I've looked through 5 pages here and it's confusing whether I need resistors, diodes, or new LED flasher..

Thanks everyone, my first post here I think!

Just get a new led flasher cost is about $15.00 and is a direct plug in.Saves you lots of time compared to splicing in resistors and does the same thing.

I just put hotbodies flushmounts on my 06 and i also intergrated the stock tail light. I didnt want my front flushmounts to blink super fast so i bought one of these bad boys and it was easy to put on and worked great. http://www.customled.com/products/fl...sher_relay.htm. The hardest part was gettin the front cowl back on. The flasher is right in between the headlights.

Personally i've never understood why people want to slow down the blinking turn signals. I LOVE how fast they blink when you swap them front and back to LED's not only are LED's brighter but the constant and faster flashing makes me more visible to drivers who dont pay attention to what's going on. The faster and more flashes the more chance Miss. Mini van looks up from drinking her coffee and doesn't plow through me.

That's just my 2 cents.

Ive kinda wanted the led flasher because well its stock flashing rate, but then again hyper flashers are badass and are SOOOO JDM.
