Curing LED Turn Signal Conversion Problems
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. http://ledguy.net/store/in...

Agreed. I went LED because my OEM lights seemed to be having socket problems. That's why I ruled out Bargman's LED "upgrade" modules. Those should have offered proper "focus, directionality", whatever you want to call it, but would still connect via those troublesome sockets. The LED setup is all wired.
More helpfully, it seems somebody (Ford? Jayco? Chassis Stretcher?) skimped on wire size. Our rear lights worked OK, but when I connected toad lights (removable, with 1157 bulbs) the turn signals on coach and toad dimmed badly. Replaced both coach and toad lights with LED (again, complete LED assemblies) and ended up with good lighting. I'll confess that I do truly like the way they look, though...
Added the lollipop lights to the mirrors to:
1. Make a turn signal visible to somebody alongside, in blind zone
2. Provide redundancy from the front aspect of the RV. Now oncoming traffic has two amber turn signals to see, with one remaining if the other goes out
3. Our particular Ford has very poor green arrows in the instrument panel to show the turn signal is on. Much easier to see the red side of lollipops (EDIT - OOPS - Industry calls them PEDESTALS)
