Maybe you could go to your dealership to reprogram the flashing rate. I don't know if it's possible.

Hmmmmn.... Do the load resisitors use a lot of power? If I did convert to leds and use load resisitors, would it make the voltage bounce around less with the 4 ways on?

how much does your voltage bounce with the 4-ways on? sounds like there is another problem, mine does not bounce around.

Not alot probally around .4 volts or so. However it is sometimes enough to change the briteness of the guages a small amount. And for some reason it bugs me alot. I am thinking of just getting a big compacitor and wireing it to the battery to see if that makes a difference. However I really want leds regardless lol.
