Default LED turn signal bulbs

I recently replaced my turn signal bulbs with LEDs ('06 Ram 2500), now when I turn them on it blinks properly 4 times then flashes fast. Was looking to just put in an electronic flasher (I had done this before with a different vehicle) but auto parts store does not even list a flasher for the 2500 only a 1500. Is there a flasher on the 2500 or is it integrated into something else?

Flasher should be exactly the same part as the 1500.

Default Led turn signals

Did you ever get your signals to flash correctly? My '05 dakota does not have a flasher fuse to replace. Put in high dollar bulbs and quick flash, except when hazards are used.

If you can't use a flasher, you need to install resistors to prevent hyperflash.

Everything is controlled by the TIPM. Remove the LED’s before you blow out this $700 module. If you don’t know what that is, look it up.

Crap, got involved in an old thread again! Why are you posting about a Dakota here anyways? This is a Ram forum!!
