Thanks for the links l_miwa.

I have never used the relays before. I ordered one though. I'll give it a shot when it comes in. Anyone know where the turn signal relay is located specifically? I got the load equalizer today but will put off installing them until I experiment with the relay. Hopefully, it will work fine and I can avoid using the resistors all together. I'll keep you posted.

I took a look under the hood and could not find where the turn signal relay is. I checked the fuse and relay boxes but it did not specify a turn signal relay. I'm not really willing to pull relays out just to see. So If no one knows it's location, I might wind up doing it with resistors.

It's the TNS relay which is located between the reverse and starter relays...which are the same relays actualy... part #B115-67-730.

There are two fuse/relay boxes under the hood on the drivers side near the firewall... inside the smaller of the two are the relays...they're id'd on the underside of the box's cover.

I saw the relays you were referring to but the relay I bought from the LED company is of a different size. Oh well. I'm just going to stick with what I know will work (resistors). Thanks anyway.

I just completed the LED turn signal upgrade for both the front and rear with the load resistors. They look great and there is no fast blinking when activated, they work perfectly. The best part is that there is no more egg-yolk look in the taillights and when the turn signals go on and off, it's a very sharp flash, just like other OEM LED turn signals.

titanium11 - Which turn signal LED bulbs did you get and where did you end up getting them from? How does the brightness compare with the OEM bulbs?

So far, I've done the backup lights, the front and rear marker lights, rear license plate bulbs, and the door courtesy bulbs.

I pulled the TNS relay completely out and my emergency blinkers and turn signals continued to work as before! It sounds like the clicking sound from the relay is coming from right behind the indicator lights in the dash. No sounds from any of the relays under the hood. Am I missing something?
