Anyone use APC LED bulbs for their turn signal lights?

Any LED replacements for the turn signal bulbs in the headlamps will cause them to blink too fast. You have to wire in a resistor array to prevent this, which makes the job a PITA.

yeah i got a set of the APC single LED side markers.... i use them in the side marker and the running light below the turn signal... they're ok, but i know they're not bright enough - i should probably check out the one at autozone - that quad-LED setup should be, by my mathematical calculations, FOUR TIMES BRIGHTER than mine! but i'm no engineer; i'll have to try 'em to make sure.

APC bulbs are cheap for a reason... I have a set of LED bulbs for my bike from this place www.led.net They're expensive because they use really bright LED's. Really bright LED's are expensive... They almost hurt when the brake is engaged especially at night...

I have the APC LED 7440's in front and Quad LED 194's front and side and I like the look. I would like to get back to a slower blink with the turn signals though. Does anyone have an idea what setup/mod would make this possible? (beside's returning to standard bulbs)
Thanks,
Thanks,
