LED turn bulbs will cause load changes on the flasher switch and they won't flash correctly.

Are you replacing all with LEDs or just the one? If just the one it might flash but if all you will need a electronic flasher also you need to get amber color LEDs.

In addition to the Cyclops headlight, Radiantz taillight, and Electrical Connection auxiliary run/brake, I have these on all 4 corners with no ill effects to the flasher.
