Buy the load independent flasher! My twist tie "resistor" failed in a few minutes of using the 4-way flashers... It is not a good mod!

One of the solder pads also lifted off during the second unsoldering, making a repair quite tricky; but I managed to get the original wire loop back in and connected. I'll live with the hyper flashing until Wednesday...

BTW, the headlight design and replacing the main headlight and the turn signal on the driver's side in particular -- is a major PITA! You either have to remove both the battery and the fuse box, or remove the headlight unit -- which then requires you to remove the grill and the bumper cover... sheesh. It ain't designed for us shade tree mechanics, that's for sure.

I managed by the skin of my teeth to get the turn signal back in by removing the fuse box cover, and loosening the headlight unit, and fashioning a wire hook -- and bending over for about a half and hour; putting a kink in my back, scraping my knuckles, and cussing at the stoopeed cramped and convoluted access to the turn signal bulb...
