new lights, no blinkers....

I just put on some new LED lights in the rear of my 90 marrow, now I have no blinkers, it lights up like a burned out light: no blinking, just stays on, any advice....? I assume my car thinks it has a light burned out because the LED's draw less power..... any way to trick it?

You might be on to something there. Maybe you have a heavy-duty flasher in the car. Just replace it with a regular-duty flasher and see what happens.

Replace your electromechanical blinker with a solid state one.


Happy Racing!

When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead. Right grandma?

How bout those nervous nellies too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime or if there is a little rain!
