I got an adjustabe flasher on ebay for my LED flashers. I cant seem to find a link for it but it has a knob on it to adjust the flasher speed. Doesnt use aload to flash. U could also just use a no-load flasher if you dont want to have an adjustable one. What if you used resistors to build up the load on the circuit to simulate a load a light bulb would produce?? I dont know if that would work though??

Autozone, advance... etc.

Get the "electronic relay" compatible with the fiero. IIRC about $12.

you can get them at any parts store.
EL-12 is the part number
i know napa has them.

most truck stops should have them also, but they would be over priced.

Just one thing to remember, I believe with these variable load electronic flashers, not only do they work with LED's but you lose the warning when a bulb burns out, it won't notify you that one of the led bulbs isn't working.

But if they are good LED's they should last for quite some time.

Another interesting note:

When I went to LED marker and tail lights my aftermarket audiovox cruise control stopped working.

The LED’s don’t pull current the same and the audiovox couldn’t read the brake lights correctly to engage.

Finally placed a relay between the brake switch and cruise unit to correct. I don’t know if stock cruise control will be affected.

Unless you want an adjustable one just get an electronic flasher from any parts store. They run about $10.
