One of the eBay websites for 1157 LED bulbs says: "A variable load turn signal
flasher is required to use this LED for turn signal applications. If your
vehicle does not have a variable load turn signal flasher a load equalizer will
be needed and are available at most auto part stores."
Is the stock TR6 flasher unit a "variable load" variety or would that need to
be something to install to replace the stock item?
