Need help with LED turn signals.
So I got myself into a predicament. I bought some LED bulbs for the turn signals on my FRS. To avoid the hyper flashing, I also bought one of these:

Sorry I dont know the actual location for the blinker relay but why not just activate the turn signal and listen for where the clicking sound is coming from?

It goes to your fuse box. The manual has the fuses/relays diagramed and there should be one for turn signals.

I don't see anything in the manual about a flasher relay. I see a hazard light fuse but thats not the same size and probably not the one I'm looking for.

Can you put up pics? I'm thinking of these LED's which claim to be plug and play but I'll believe it when I see it.

From what I understand about modern LEDs, they are all plug and play. It's just that using LEDs in place of turn signals cause hyper-flashing. I'll take a picture of where the relay is when I finish stitching up my e brake boot and walk downstairs to put it back on my car.

These are the best photos I could take right now. The relay is stuck to the bottom right underneath the steering wheel. It was such a PITA to remove the old relay though.Took me an hour and even then I ended up breaking the old one just to take it off. Also, a picture of my e brake... You get what you pay for (in my case $10)?
