The reason is that the original electro mechanical flasher unit needs a rea=
sonably accurate 36- 42 watts to operate the bi- metallic strip at the corr=
ect tick tock rate. This is why if one bulb fails, the flasher unit changes=
 speed. LEDs take so little current that the total wattage of two LEDs is o=
nly a fraction of that necessary. The guy who has two incandescent bulbs an=
d an LED side indicator will be fine, because the front and back bulbs are =
providing the wattage.=C2=A0 An LED bulb in the dashboard light will work f=
ine.
The best fix is LED bulbs all round with an electronic flasher unit. It is =
possible to get an electronic flasher built in to an original looking case =
