Here are some samples. These are pretty much how they will be. I need to order some more LEDs to complete this trial set. I only had enough to do 1 side of the car. The 914 taillights are on the very left and for comparison I turned on the brake lights on my Integra. the 914 taillights are at the very front of the Integra.

You need the "heavy duty" flasher from a FLAPs. These don't care what the load is. They might be listed under trailer towing stuff. This type of flasher uses a mechanical or electronic dodad to flash the lights that is not related to current draw. The mechanical ones have a really nice solid "click" to them when they operate. I used one of these on my old Mustang that was a bit on the loud side so I could hear the blinkers blink when I left them on - no cancelers on that car.
