2002 Tahoe; resister or new relay to fix LED hyperflashing?

A buddy of mine gave me a nice pair of LED switchbacks for my turn signals. Just wondering what would be the best route to go with; wiring in resisters or picking up on of those LED flasher relays. Thanks!

Personally I'd go for the led flasher. Only reason to do resistors would be if you have some sort of bulb-out sensor in the car that needs to see a load

I am running switchbacks in my front signals and for some reason they caused my main brake lights to not work even with an LED flasher. No effect on my 3rd brake light.I had to use a resistor on the park light circuit up front.Just make sure to check your brake lights whatever you do. I'm guessing it's because the brake lights interrupt the rear park lights, and the switchbacks are in the park light circuit, and every light I have is an LED.

Thanks for the heads up!
