Question Installed flush mount LED's, how do you slow them down?

Trying to get some things wraped up on the jeep, installed corner guards, flush mounted LED's for tail lights, removed the OR-fab tire carrier and installed new ARB compressor. LED's work well except they flash really quick, would a heavy duty flasher slow them down or am I thinking backasswards?

I know a burned out bulb will often cause turn signals to flash rapidly, do the led's draw too little current? I thought I had read some where you had to install some sort of a resistor to correct this.
Thanks for any help.. Chuck

That is a good writeup, I'll be using it soon to install my new Litedots tail lights just received yesterday.

For the license plate light, I bought some bolts with built-in white LEDs years ago that I'll finally put to use. I hope they're bright enough for the job!

Jerry I used the RockHard License plate bracket to relocate my license plate onto my spare and then I used ORO's LED 3rd Tail light and License plate light.

Its on the 3rd page of my LED writeup. With electrical diagram.

Heres what it looks like at night. I didn't step on the brakes to light up the 3rd Tail light. It was a bit tough since I was shooting at the sametime.
