Not offhand, they do need to be wired in properly polarity-wise, if they don't work just turn it around. The LF1-S-Flat from superbrightleds.com is the one I like. You can remove the spade terminals from the plastic connector and swap them if the polarity is wrong, or just insert them w/o the plastic connector and tape it up. I used an "electronic" flasher from Autozone and it still wouldn't flash the LED's on my Zuk until I used a loading resistor. Since I did the diode mod and used an LED for the dash ind. bulb I put the resistor across the dash LED which would load it if either side were selected. Instead of a huge 8 to 10 ohm resistor I only needed a 1000 ohm 1/2 watt one. If I would have left the incand. bulb in the dash it would have worked fine.
