well i finally got a chance to get out and play with the leds some more and i compiled all the info i got and tried a few things and got them to work. I have tail lights, and brake lights but still no blinkers. They just light up instead of blink. Whats going on??? I did the flasher mod to get rid of the fast flash, do i have to add a resistor? some one please help i wanna fix this.
and pics will be taken tomorrow and posted in the SPYDER mods post.

maybe with front and rear leds your getting enuf draw to not need the flasher mod?if you undo the directional wire from the led and put a test light on the wire coming from the jeep does it flash?if it doesn't its nothing to do with the leds....if it does i'd try maybe putting a stock flasher in and see what happens.if i read it right the purpose of the flasher mod is because the led doesn't put enuf draw on the flasher..maybe with fronts and rears(same circuit remember)you don't need the mod.other than that maybe call the manufacturer.......i'm outta ideas bro........good luck.jeremy

i would foget about the flasher mod..make it stock and wire im some resistors on the front and rear. do a ohm test on an 1157 bulb, then check the LED brake cerkit because your blicker is the same light. then make up the differance with a resistor and your problem is fixed

FYI, that resistor pak is gonna be Huge! my jeep had a difference of like 70,000 ohms and my motorcycle, when I put LEDS into my rear peghs for directionals, those needed 130,000 oHms
But it can be done, radio shack will carry the Huge 100,00 ohm resistors

i got an original one and all it did the same time but with an added buzz...so the modded one is back in. i haven't really dug into it too much cause im lazy.
But someone on Jeepforum.com is sending me a flasher that will work with leds (supposedly). He says it should work but my blinkers will work when the jeep is off...fine by me. So when i get it, Ill let you all know how it works.

well i got the flasher from the guy on jeepforum yesterday and installed it this morning.....I HAVE BLINKERS. Im so happy. I pmed him back to find out where to get it and the part number for it. When i get those Ill let you all know so you can skip the hassel of the flasher mod and having no blinkers like i did.
I could care less if my blinkers work while on or off....its not like im gonna forget to turn them off.
last update....part #EP-26 which can be found at any autoparts store
