Recently acquired some LED bulbs for my tail lights and now they blink fast as I figured they would. Is this bad? If so what's some ways to fix this. I've read you out resistors some where but they never said where. I like them besides the blinking tho. Very bright
Forget resistors, all they do is get hot and burn up power. Go get an LED version of your turn-signal flasher which will likely fix the problem, depending on the model year of your TJ. Conventional electro-mechanical turn signal flashers like your TJ has work by heat caused by current being drawn through a contact by an incandescent bulb. LED lights don't draw as much (enough) current so the flasher thinks there's a burned out bulb which throws it into a quick-flash mode to let you know it thinks there's a burned out bulb.
