[Tigers] LED Brake Lights

[Lynn]

Make sure you buy "omni" directional LED bulbs.  They will appear brighter
and will reflect off the housing.  "uni" directional bulbs only shine
outward so they are very dim to drivers behind you.

Try the following link:

It might get you started.

Swap the bulbs, see if it works. 
 
If the turn signals don't blink or blink too fast you may need a resistor
across the bulb for the turn signal circuit,
 
I think they sell an adapter for that. It's needed for mechanical/heat type
of flashers that rely on the higher current used by a 'filament' bulb. The
LED bulbs don't draw much power and will not cause the flasher to heat up to
open and close the contact.

 
The last thing you can do is use a 3 terminal flasher that is not load
sensitive. It's basically a 2 prong flasher with a flying lead that you
ground and works with any type of load. Check Waytek Wire for them, I think
that's where I got the last one.
 
A few ways to skin the cat.
Check the LED bulbs some may have the resistor built in.
