would switching to LED lights require a "Electronic LED Flasher? (http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fflashers.htm)"

umm, if you take them out of the tail lights, most auto lightbulbs have the numbers right on them. And switching to LEDs in your tails MAY involve installing a resistor to each bulb, depending on the brand (which some have the resistor already, iirc)

your turning signals will "hyper blink" in which case its cheaper to go to radioshack and get a cement resistor. (10W should do) they come in packs of two. Just solder it inline with the power and you'll be fine.

its called a "load resistor" search for it. there is a thread about it.
