For the LED version you just need a resistance to match the original wattage and avoid a too fast blink.
All of the solutions I have seen do one of two things. They either shunt the LED so the draw the same current as a bulb so the existing flasher will work correctly. This an easy cheap fix but it completely negates one of the primary reasons I want to use an LED. Low power consumption. The second fix replaces the old style flasher with a flasher that works off a timer instead of current. These usually plug in directly or use some sort of adapter. This is ideal you get low power consumption and the durability of the LED plus you get possibly a better more durable flasher. The problem with the GZ250 and LED lighting in tha the flasher is combined with other circuitry in a module. There is no flasher replacement that doesn't require rewiring, I have been hoping someone would spring for some LEDs replacements and find out if the GZ250 flasher works with them. Looks like that might have to be me.
