So if I update my front indicator and rear stop/tail bulbs with LED's then I will require no load or LED flashers correct?

To replace the flashers I need a simple 2-pole unit and I believe I will need 2 total, one for flasher circuit and one for emergency circuit correct?

I notice there's a wide spread of available LED flashers from a simple/cheap $8 dollar unit to $50 dollar unit with adjustable flash speeds. Is this just personal preference? Some review of the cheap ones are negative concerning quality. Anybody have recommendations?

I converted to all LED and I'm using a $17 Littelfuse FLR233 electronic flasher from local parts store.
It's been working great for about a year now.

I converted mine and added a Heavy Duty flasher that was intended for a tow truck.I've had it for about 15 years,so I doubt it was ever intended for LED's. It has a opaque blue case that you can see all the working inside.I have no idea what's inside a stock one ,but this one weighs three times as much. It flashes at the correct speed ,and has a "old man"loud click....

If I remember correctly that HD may be a Peterson 550 ... It was a glass container and yes it was heavy and you did see the wiring inside.
