I built a new rear bumper with LEDs, and yes it does flash too fast, I hoped I,d get away with because of the old lights on the front but no.
Supercheap want $34. for a 3 pin, but only $18. for a two pin can I adept a 2 pin, ,cause I paid $28 for a ordinary flasher unit 1 monthago

keep the flasher.
add a resistor inline with your LED's.
dunno what value you need, but since they're a few cents each, buy a pair of each value you can get at dick smiths, and wire them in until you reach a flash your happy with.

I would suggest that given the power these inline resistors are gonna need to handle some $0.05 1/4W resistors aren't going to be up to the job...
Also, the resistor would need to be in parallel with the LEDs, not inline...

A cheap 2 pin thermal flasher unit worked fine in mine when i had LED rear lights. Had to go a proper LED flasher now i run LED's all round, Narva 68249 2 pin, $14.00 from electrical wholesaler.

I bough a 2pin flasher unit{non-load bearing], but didn't work..-another $30.....Got NARVA LOAD RESISTOR 2 OFF.
Yeah works perfectly.
Warning: Load resistor must be mounted to metal surface.
Operating temperatures can reach 170C damaging plastics,carpets and painted mental surfaces.
P/No.90034BL.
Only 2 auto-electrical wholesales in Cairns, and they reckon there is no straight swap for Suzuki flashers.....you need to rig up little leads.
$30. for the pair from
ashdown- Lsomethink......... bye

I can vouch for that, we tested it at work, cause the boss didn't believe it..

With all wiring correctly re-routed.
Will have to try more with my new zook.
