Question Replace turn signals with LEDs questions

I want to replace my turn signal bulb with LED units. I know in the olden days of flasher units, the flash rate was governed by the amp load of the bulbs.

My question is, if I replace them with LEDs, will it affect the flash rate?

Also, I want quality units...any recommendations on brands? I dont want to get stuck with cheap Chinese junk.

Thanks!

Yes, it will become hyper flash if replace with LED, and there are 2 ways to fix this as I know, 1st is to install the extra load resistors; 2nd is to replace the original flash relay to led flash relay. But the flash relay location might be somewhere deep behind the dashboard. So I chosed the 1st way to avoid the hyper flash.
