LED question
Jeff86inMS:
Currently in the process of swapping all the bulbs to LED. I have purchased the new flasher style so the LEDs will work. My question is, do I need to replace all the bulbs at the same time or will the electronic flasher operate both LED and incandescent bulbs until I can change them all? TIA!

Actually, as long as you have one or two incandescent bulbs on each side you should be able to use a standard flasher until your conversion is complete.

The solid state flashers work with all bulb types
Jeff86inMS:
Solid States? I got the new flasher from Amazon. Where do I get the “Solid State” one?

Solid state vs Mechanical
OEM flashers relied on heat generation from the bulbs load to open and close a contact.
LED's don't produce the heat required, so as bd said, keep one incandescent bulb in the circuit till you have the solid state flasher ready to replace the mechanical one.
