Led need less power then normal light.

You'll need a resistor to bring the blinking rate back to normal.

x-2 resistor to lower voltage they should have a kit i think for your problem.

This is a link to the flasher that will correct you hyperflashing. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...GRPLAMPAMS____I know it works on 04-08 F150s but not sure about 09+. FWIW, it worked on my 08.

Unfortunately, that won't work - the 09++ trucks do not use flashers - it's handled by the SJB ( Smart Junction Box ).

Although , if it were so dang smart why TF doesn't it detect the presence of Leds and adjust the flash rate automagically


OP - As you might expect - this has been discussed before - and as y'all may also expect, SSCULLY was on the case, as usual

Everything you need to know is in here:
