They are call HD (for heavy duty)flashers. They are made for trailer towing. No matter if you have one light or 6 on the circuit they will flash at the same rate. Your original flasher depended on load to make it flash, meaning one burnt out bulb and the others will light but not flash because of the lower load. Get good HD flashers at a reputable auto store like NAPA. Don't go to Checkers or walmart, you'll get Chinese garbage that won't work even with the correct load.Hey ltdrider what are Load - Independent Flasher for the Turn Signals ?
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
