Haven't bought any led replacements yet but no doubt the problem is they use so little wattage that they can't trip the flasher. They may make a flasher for the low draw. Haven't ripped one apart in a while but a flasher was a bi-metal connection with points that when heated up from the flow of electricity bent such that it opened and closed - they probably still do just that on most.

Been a while but when you used to tap existing wiring for a trailer the flashers would go too fast and there was a HD flasher to slow down with the additional load. There must be something available for reduced load,

Agree with Tom,

From what i understand,you can use an "Electronic flasher."
Try Advance auto parts,i know they sell them.
