LEDs for signal lights

[Kilroy]

Now, I have been reading online that the flasher unit for a 1999 Alero is integrated with the hazard switch. If this is so, then it would be impossible to put an electronic flasher in a 1999 Alero, to handle LEDs being used as the flasher bulbs. Am I therefore correct in assuming that the only way out of this predicament is to add resistors to the flasher bulbs, thus giving the system the same load as a regular bulb?:huh:

they should sell LEDs that are a direct replacement to the OEM bulb

what you looking for is a load resistor. very high wattage, low ohmage. Radioshack sells them.(cheaper then you can buy online) :lol:

www.superbrightleds.com sells the bulbs. Check my sig for the size.

I know about the load resistor, that's why Imentioned it. I was trying to find out if it is possible to use an electronic flasher in the Alero, but apparently itt isn't.

oooh... i skipped part of that. :lol:

right, it would NOT be possible. You'd have a flasher, on a flasher.

However... you CAN disconnect the power to the turning signals that goes TO the hazard switch, and wire your own flasher into it. If you wanted to. This would also avoid the whole problem with the hazard recall.
