blinker control

Does anyone know if the blinker relay is thermal or electronic ? Also where is the relay? I am thinking of putting LED bulbs in the front blinkers.

Think it requires an LED Load Equalizer but there may be problems with those also. I'd check with Cliff@YourLEDShop for the straight scoop.

I do remember a post about the LED Load Equalizer. My question is : Is the blinker relay thermal or electronic? and Does anyone know where the relay is located? you only need the load equalizer if you have a thermal relay. Adding a thermal equalizer to a electronic relay is not a good thing to do.
