I got it fixed last night. I went to Auto Zone and they had a LED bulb fixer thing(if you guys want the actual name i can get the box outta the garbage). Just two wires with what I call a white brick in the middle. Came with wire taps and I just connected one wire from the brick to the live wire and the other wire to the ground.

The brick gets nice and toasty after about 45 seconds but I believe it should be fine because the filament bulbs got hot anyways.

I was going to go with flashers but they were really big and I didnt think they would fit well.

Thanks for the help, nico.

Like I said, if you want the actual name I can get the box or if you want pics I can take them.

That flasher isn't wired inline with the bulb. It takes the place of the flasher that you are currently using that is installed under your dashboard.

Oh wow I feel dumb now lol. Nevertheless, this was a 4 minute $11 fix to a minor problem.

Thanks for the help!

I probably would have effed something up when switching out the flasher so its probably a good thing I did it this way.
