put a LED flasher can in it, have a search as i think someone talked about putting a resistor in to slow them down. |

LED draw a lot less current then standered lights. You will have to buy a resistor for it, they sell them at most automative shops like autobarn. I remember want33's posting a really good resistor where its just plug in... |

you can put a resistor in, you just wire them in accross the pos and neg to load the circuit up they get pretty hot though |

No, I just fitted an LED flasher can. Much better than putting resistors in. |

Go an electronic flasher unit that way it wont matter what sort of lights are hooked up anywhere. |

just a note, the LED flasher cans are illegal to run as it doesnt flash faster or give you other feedback when a light isnt working. the resistors are legal though. I run a LED flasher, Dont buy the cheapest eBay ones, I had one that only worked properly when the engine was not running. |
