The video shows the emergency flashers which don't rapid flash. The turn signals do rapid flash and I will fix those tomorrow hopefully.

Looks great man! Hope you find the flasher locally but you can always order it, it will just set you back a couple days.
See if there is a Pep Boys near you too. They have them. Orielly's website says they sell the Tridon brand so they might have the EP27 flasher also.

So is the LED flasher a must? or it all depends on the model of the truck? Thanks

If you don't want your truck to "hyperflash" when signaling, it's a must.

Man I find it hard to believe you can't find that flasher. They are at every auto parts store around me. O'reily, Advanca, Autozone, etc. Everybody has gobbs of them here.

I only tried the one Autozone, my problem is they did not have the EP 27 and the guy told me the FL27 was the same. My mistake for believing a kid. I have an O'rielly's and a Pep Boys here, I will find it. One way or the other. I am sure they are in abundance somewhere close. lol

The same thing happened to me when I went to AutoZone. They were sold out of the EP27 and only had the FL27. It was also a kid that told me it was the same, and he knows they are because they are the same in the system. I left AutoZone and drove down the street to PepBoys and they did have the Tridon flasher.

You need a pair of these:

They plug and play where your current flasher bulbs are.

And one of these.

It replaces the factory flasher located under the drivers side dash behind the metal plate to the left of the diagnostic port.

Dark,
Does your new flasher seem really loud and does it click when you hit the brakes? Mine does and its annoying the crap outta me. if its normal, I will just wrap it in foam tape. If yours isn't doing it then I will go exchange it.
