O.K. not to beat a "dead thread". Thanks to some excellent suggestions, without telling me where to go…(although there were a few suggestions).
The Turn Signals are now working using a single "non-mechanical" Flasher. it was $12 at NAPA. Pep Boys has a bunch too.
They look so good they are showing up the rest of the car's light now. So I replaced all the 2825s (dome light(s), entry lights, corner rear parking light). I even found some Amber 2825s and put them on the Smoked Side Markers. You can see me again!
I KNEW I was pushing my luck by trying some LEDs with the REST of the 1156s in the rear tail light assy - there are 5 bulbs in my car. And how many worked? ZERO!
I told you that to ask this….is there another solution besides "tapping" each bulb so LEDs will work? Is there another "Flasher" that can come to the rescue? Please, no "flaming" responses. Just trying to keep the lights on here.
Thanks in advance.
