So I'm pretty sure the square one is original.

So I'm pretty sure the square one is original. The factory parts manual calls them all Flashers. No mention of relay. 3 part numbers. 1-2932877 Most common turn and 4 way all car lines. 2-2932875 Says 2 lamp so it must be light duty. 3-2932876 Looks to be HD police and taxi. The mounting clip is one number 2770998 Last edited by NITROUSN; 06/27/23 08:26 AM.

Going to be using some LEDs so need to replace both with electronic. The new ones are all plastic with a ground wire - I assume the originals grounded through the case.

OEM Flasher case does not need to be grounded.

I just looked at the FSM wiring diagrams and sure enough ... no grounds. Just assumed 'cause some aftermarket units have ground pigtails that the originals were grounded.

LED lighting may be a completely different story. even the somewhat later model K cars did not use a ground wire on the flasher can[s]. however, when the flasher cans were combined into one [square] unit in [or around] the 96ish [?] model year, using a multiple prong unit, i don't know if those are grounded or not. i never traced it to see.

SomeCarGuy I Live Here S Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 10,201 Someplace you aren't	I used a set of these and they are noticeably brighter, I mean like a multiple when viewed against my garage door back to back. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PFC1Q59/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I don’t know what flasher my car has, but it still works the same with these bulbs. I’ve read a bunch of posts talking about issues running leds. The first set failed in 00 miles or less and the company sent another one no questions that have held up longer. I want my fair share

That company suggested to use red on the brakes and I have to say it worked out. Seeing how much brighter it is let me know it’s worth it. I do carry the originals as spares after the set failed. I’m probably just too paranoid but I carry a trunk full of tools and parts so what was one more little box? I want my fair share
