Default Where is the turn signal flasher on a 2008 ram truck

Hey Im new to the forum and I'm going to put some led light bulbs in my tail lights on my 2008 ram truck and I can't seem to find the flasher for the turn signals. Does anyone know where the flasher is? Any help would be awesome

Pretty sure there isn't a mechanical flasher anymore. The electronics are nice enough to give you an artificial click sound, though.

So if I were to install the led lights the stock electronics would be able to run the led lights no problem?

I believe the "click" is generated seperately from the flasher function,
park in front of a garage door/wall and put your turn signal on, if you watch the reflection off the wall you'll notice the flashing and the "click" aren't in phase.
