Default question about signal warning cancelers

ok so i replaced both the rear and front turn signals with LED bulbs and they blink too fast and the signal light on the inside blinks super fast as if the bulbs are burnt out.

the guy at the shop said he could install the warning cancelers in the rear no problem however he said for the front turn signals its all plastic and the cancelers get way too hot and will melt everything.

are there any alternative cancelers that don't get as hot, or is there some other way of solving this problem so i can keep the led bulbs and not have them blink way too fast and send the error message?

any help greatly appreciated.

cheers.

Just buy flasher from V-LED for $16.99 and everything will work fine including comfirmation flash when lock and unlock the door.
I got mine LED signal kit from Think Design Japan for $260 when V-LED's flasher out of stock...

Replace flasher is the easiest way to make LED signal work right and no heat problem!!

That's exactly what I did and it works flawlessly. This is what you need.

Yes, one relay operates all turn signals and the 4-ways. I installed it myself, it wasn't that hard. You would have to remobe the plastic panel above the pedals, lay on the floor and lookm straight up. The relay is right below the steering column.

Order it from V-LED before 6/30,
