You will need load resistors for the brake and blinker lamps.

Standard blinkers work on resistance. Decrease the resistance, and they speed up. The easy answer is to put in a new electronic blinker. Usually, any vehicle made with a towing package usually has the HD electronic flasher installed.

But, newer LED designs are so efficient that sometimes even a new electronic flasher doesn't work. So you have to buy one specifically designed for high efficiency LED's. You can find them at most street rod companies, like Speedway Motors.
