Flashers are usually specific to makes or sometimes models of cars. They have a certain pin setup that plugs into a harness. You can find LED flashers that have a lower voltage so it flashes normally. The stock flasher is made for incandescent bulbs that run at a higher voltage; LED bulbs are low voltage so the car thinks that a bulb is out.

I tried going to O'Reilleys/Autozone to ask for a LED signal flasher, and they just stared at me with an empty look...

I had the same problem with my 94 ES.
Threw in that EP-35 and it worked fine.
The 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen use the same relay i found out
after doing some research on here and testing it.
Search some of my threads and you'll see a post where a
member on here was kind enough to help me and post pics
of the relay he used on his 3rd Gen.
