Depends on the flasher you have. In the case of the FB, it's thermal. You need to give it the proper load else it will 1) give you the fast blink like a light is out or 2) stay on all the time. It is the blub that matters. You'd end up putting a resistor in line to get your load up to what it needs to be.

Tell me what your line of thinking is. Have a set of FD tails that I wanted to do the same thing with. Very tasteful and keep in line with the 99 round theme. Perhaps it can be something we can start across all generations. Have kind of a common LED theme to RX-7s
