Here's a simple flasher relay that will work for any combination of LED and incandescent bulbs WITHOUT the need for resistors.

This one is a direct plug in, but you lose the clicking sound:

CF12ANL-01 LED Bulb Electronic Flasher | Flashers & Load Resistors | Car Bulb Installation Supplies | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

I elected to use this one that clicks, but requires installing a ground wire to the E pin:

CF13JL-02 LED Bulb Electronic Flasher | Flashers & Load Resistors | Car Bulb Installation Supplies | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

I confirmed this works on my stock flashers and also on a friend's who's running half LED, half stock. But this will work with virtually any setup. The new relay is tie wrapped in place as shown. The yellow wire taps into the green ground wire on the headlight connector and connects to the E pin of the relay. Hope this helps.

Why this may be true you have to order it. for people like me i have to have it yesterday i can go to any parts store and pick up a el12. Your suggested flasher is a great option for weird combos. But even front and rear led combos work with a el12. It did not work in my set up because my supplyed rear blinkers did not have built in resistors like my front did. I had to add 50 ohm resistors in my set up.

I would say if your running a normal blinker set up including leds for specificly motorcycles a el12 will be you best buy
Anything custom buy the one you found and give it a shot. Good find it gives us all more options

****** i am not a expert in electrical just like playing around with it wouldnt belive half the stuff i say ***

I too originally had bought EL12 but that didnt work for me with all 4 leds. It did for 2 led 2 incandescent. I ended up ordering one through my business. I have confirmed myself it does work but you need to connect a single ground wire and is plug and play into grom flasher plug as well. Comes with everything necessary. If you would like to order one from me I can have them drop shipped to you. I forget the price but i can get that to you if you need.

Yep, Front stock blinkers work fine. Checked the wiring and have juice, but lights will not come on. Tried stock blinkers on back and they work fine. Bought an e12 today, same problem. Have now spent $20 on 3 different flashers and cannot get the rear LED's to light up. The bulbs look good.

Okay so I just ordered this relay and plan on using it with stock front turns and I purchased led strip lights from auto zone currently the turns just stay lite up when I turn em on I was told by Dutch armstrong that purchasing this relay will allow my turns to work properly can anyone verify? I just ordered the relay today and if it's not gonna work I'll cancel the order. Thanks for the input!
