your going to need a load resistor for the flasher wire due to the low resistance of an led. if not your bulbs will be blinking like crazy

oooh... I see. You meant because you're going to LED bulbs. Yes, either a resistor wire or a new flasher module. I think DiodeDynamics charges $15 for the flasher module.

it was slightly too big for the genesis but it fit into the plug.



Turn your hazard lights on and get under the dash, listen for the flasher clicking and feel for it when u find it.

No, you don't need resistors. The flasher module will take care of it.
