Question LED Flasher Relay Question

Looking to upgrade all of the stock bulbs to LED's on a 2005 RL

Looking over at superbrightleds.com and they have two different kinds of flashers and was wondering if anybody here has had any experience with them?

Which one would you recommend?

The non-adjustable one is simply plug and play, while the adjustable one, you would have to set the interval yourself. It's my understanding the adjustable one is more involved in the setup. If you're looking for simplicity of install and retaining the same essential function as the stock relay, non-adjustable is the way to go.

Out of an abundance of curiosity and time, I went ahead and attempted this. I've quoted myself from another thread detailing my experience. I guess our cars are wired a little differently then most Japanese cars that just have the sound relay...

As an FYI, this relay IS NOT compatible with our car. It wouldn't fit the base on the flasher relay. I did a little bit of wire work, and make a custom harness consisting of 3 male leads, a 5 inch wire and a female lead to hook the relay up. That worked, however that's when the odd behavior started. When I put the yolk on the right turn signal, the 4 ways would light up and when I put it on the left turn signal it would hyperblink on the left side. I think this is caused by the fact that we have two turn signal relays, unlike most Japanese cars this relay was probably designed for, as described in this thread:
