Has anyone tried something like this? Suppose to fix the hyper flashing from LEDs in the signal blinkers. Does anyone know this is a direct replacement for our cars?

Hey Pete, if they come with rusty contact terminals, then NO.

There has to be a small resistor that will help with that, also not a bad idea to place a Zener (one-way) diode on the negative leg of the circuit as well.
