Turn Signal Flasher with LED Bulbs

Why buy new when you can restore?
I contacted an eBay seller directly. The only reason I went with them is because they had all the bulbs I wanted.
I've looked at other sites (superbrightleds.com), but they are twice as expensive.
On the upside, I did get my reverse bulbs in. Now my reverse lights match my lightbar. The mismatch really bugged me. The LEDs are a lot dimmer than the regular bulbs. I took a picture (at night) and you can clearly see the regular bulb overpowers the LED. I'll post the pic tomorrow.
I'm waiting for my new headlights, parking, and corner lights (also off eBay) and I'll be ordering some Anzo 911019 taillights tomorrow.
Sorry for the big pic. I tried to change it.
Could anyone tell me if this flasher would solve my hyper-signals?
It is a Blazer FL29. $11.99 at AutoZone and O'Reilly.

It's marked as a heavy duty electronic type, so it should work fine.

Nice choice of headlights my man! 
quick question; who did you buy the bulbs from?

I got my LEDs from hidlightsusa.com. I found them on eBay and ended up ordering through their website. I think all their bulbs come in packs of 2 (at least all mine were).
I got all the bulbs I wanted (14 bulbs total) for $91 shipped.
1x 194 white $5.98
1x 194 amber $4.98
2x 1157 amber $25.96 ($12.98 each)
2x 3057 red $23.96 ($11.98 each)
1x 3056 white $15.98
Like I said before, I got my reverse lights in last night. I'll try to post the pic showing the difference between LED and standard bulb. I took it at night so it really isn't that clear.
I installed my front corner bulb on the passenger side (I'm just doing the one side for comparison reasons for now) and my 2 red taillight bulbs on the passenger side. The corner bulb is fine, but the one taillight bulb (since only one of the two actually blinks/gets brighter) is being a little weird. Right now it blinks with the turn signal, but does not come on when the lights are turned on (basically when it is in the "running light" mode). I don't know if it works when I push the peddle yet. I'll check that tonight. I'm going to take it out and turn it around. Supposedly some LEDs only work one way (that's the way my reverse lights were; had to flip the one around). We'll see what happens.
I sent back the 2 packs of 1157 amber bulbs (that turned out to be red) and the 1 pack of 3057 that had discoloration on the one wire this morning (using USPS Flat Rate box; hope they survive).
For future reference, the Blazer FL29 electronic flasher (its a 4-pin model) works perfectly.
Thanks KillaF150!
Any comments on the taillights?

Got my one taillight fixed. The previous owner had put a crap load of bulb grease in the sockets. The grease had hardened enough to not conduct electricity. I just scrapped out a little and now the bulb functions properly.
Here are the pics comparing the reverse lights. The camera was acting stupid and half of the one picture was just all gray so I cropped it. You can barely see on the left side the regular bulb. It's hitting the white house and then you can barely see it hitting a fence. Basically there was enough light for the camera to pick up on the regular bulb and not at all on the LED. Looking out the back window it definitely isn't as bright, but it's not bad.

Does WI have state inspections? If it does, that will probably fail you.

No we don't have inspections. Why would I fail it? Do they measure lumens of output?
It lights up just fine. You can see it easily outside of the vehicle. I can still see behind me. Just not quite as bright. Its just that cameras suck at capturing low levels of light; especially when it is pitch black out.
Just ordered my taillights (pictured above). I lucked out. I put off ordering them and then today when I went on StreetSideAuto they had a $5 off $55+. Got them for $62.89!
