Load Resistors or Electronic LED Flashers?

so I was thinking about getting some load resistors and I saw these plug in electronic LED flashers. Does anyone have these? Anyone recommend one over the other? Also, does anyone know which one fits our car?

Thanks in advance!

What exactly are you trying to do? Even if you had these flashers, you will still need load resistors on the LED's to keep them from blowing.

I'm just simply trying to get the signals to work correctly since I have LED's. According to both sites, the Electronic LED flashers will work INSTEAD of load resistors.

OK, then those flashers have to have some sort of resistor built in. Anyway, if you are only trying to get LED's in your signal lights, just use a resistor instead of those flashers. You'd have to match up the flashing rates between the car and the flashers, or else it would look funny. Personally I would just use a load resistor, and let the car control the flashing.
