 +The stock turn signal blinker is 'load activated',​ meaning it requires a certain current draw before it functions correctly.
 +
 +If you change the TS bulbs to LED type, the stock blinker will not work (unless you use load equalizers). But, for these years, it is a simple matter replace the OEM Flasher with an LED-compatible Flasher, then add some diodes and ground wires to make the change. The following electrical diagram illustrates the needed changes.

 Some times the double-ended stud that mounts the rear turn signal housing to the fender (thru a stand-off spacer) is not long enough to get a good bite on the threads in the housing. That eventually leads to the first few threads stripping out. Even though there are more threads in the housing, the stud will not reach deep enough. Some times the double-ended stud that mounts the rear turn signal housing to the fender (thru a stand-off spacer) is not long enough to get a good bite on the threads in the housing.
