[DML] Re: LEDS-INTERIOR

["delorean_3" <delorean3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In regards to replacing the blinker bulbs with LEDs, I have also been 
experiencing the fast blink problem and was wondering if anybody 
knows a link or a type/model number for what kind of relay module I 
need to make them return to normal.  Thanks.
