This apparently cures automotive manufacturer's morphidite flasher tantrums that go into Charles Manson mode when a person converts from incandescent to LED turn signals.

That item is nothing more than a 10W LOAD RESISTOR in a box for $10 which basically negates any "benefit" of lower wattage LEDS :S

You can get the same type of resistor for HALF the price HERE

Better yet, KEEP the incadenscent lights instead of opting for the bling of LEDs in your turn signals.

That auto manufacturers INTENTIONALLY make the blinkers blink fast when the proper amount of current is not drawn FOR A REASON... SAFETY.. It is a WARNING SIGNAL to the DRIVER of said vehicle to let you know that you have a turn signal lamp out.

Adding the resistor "fools" the car (and the driver) into thinking all is well if you add a resistor and you will never know that a LED module fails (and they DO FAIL).
