I have a question about electric flasher units. I would like to replace my incadescent bulbs/lamps with LEDs, to trim the wattage/amperage usage. I've noticed when my electrical system is under load I get a bit of extra load on my 1.8 as the alternator is working itself to death. Also when using LED lights in place of the incadescent ones, they don't pull enough amperage to trigger my OEM flasher (heat-driven).

Anyhow, does anyone make electrical flasher units? Where can I get one that I might even be able to wire in myself? I have knowledge on electrical systems (diagrams, simple circuits, etc) but nothing as complex as making my own up. Has anyone replaced their OEM flasher unit with an electrical one?

TIA.
