I started looking for LED replacements for spares and reliablility but I soon found that in my case the turn signals have to be the incandescent variety or the turn signal timer won't work properly. The timer module is not replaceable without changing the entire switch assembly. Howeve I did find LL (long life) versions at Autozone and Walmart so I have those as spares.
Note: if you clean the contacts on your bulbs and the contacts in the sockets use ONLY a white pencil eraser. If you use a pink eraser, the red phosphorus in it will promote corrosion.
Two answers and a question: First the question "TIMER?"
Second the flasher unit should be easily replacable, kind of like replacing a fuse.. A HD flasher should work fine with LED lights since it needs very little load to flash (SD flashers get weird with low load.
Second. They sell a resistor (Believe it or not) that "Simulates" an incandescent lamp so the turn signals work normally.. Does nothing but make heat, but it does last a lot longer than a lamp bulb will.. Kind of defeats the purpose though in my opinion.
