I don't have the P?n here, but I got mine from NAPA, just ask for a 2 prong electronic flasher. They sell quite a few of them, so they should have it on hand. You MIGHT need 2, check to see if your 4 way flashers work, if not, get that one too. (exact same part)

Heck, mine isn't even electronic. I do believe it is heavy-duty (like for use with trailers). I will see if I have a part number on it.

Older flashers depend on current draw to heat up the switching mechanism. LED's don't have enough draw to heat 'em up. So, you gotta use electronic flashers.

I have been running a pair of 1157 replacement LED bulb assemblies, that I paid dearly for, almost five years ago. I put in an electronic flasher and have had no problems. But, I'm still running incandescent bulbs in the front, so they provide enough current draw for the turn signals and the 4-way's.

I know that an old board member used to make the assemblies that ECE now sells, but I'm hearing that several buyers are having trouble with them. Personally, I'm from the old K.I.S.S. school, and the bulbs I use are bright and trouble-free. Some folks don't like paying nearly $100 for a pair, but with five years of trouble-free usage, I'm feeling like I did the right thing, at least for me.
