Turn Signal wiring

[rcsn2001]

Howdy all,
I bought my runner with a pretty decent custom front bumper already on it, and turn signals integrated into the bumper. Only problem with it, other than the hack welds that i had to grind out and redo, is the blinkers are crazy fast. I know this can sometimes be caused by an aged controller for the blinkers, but i also suspect it might be because the new signals are LED and probably have much less resistance than standard bulbs.

I was wondering if anybody out there knew about what the resistance should be for those lights, so I can adjust it as need be.

Also, if anyone else has a good suggestion for what to do i am always open to advice.

Thanks in advance

If you have this flasher.

sorry, forgot to specify. 1990 SR5 manual with 22re from a 95. i'll check the flasher controller when i get home though. is it a similar fix for mine?

No, you have a different setup. Your best bet would to get a new led flasher or spice in some 5-10 ohm 20-30 watt resistors in the light wiring.

gotcha, i was originally planning on wiring in some resistors, i just wasn't sure what the overall resistance needed to be. guess i'll just play around with it until i get a frequency i like.
