Thanks for the info, it is what I expected. My reasoning for the question was kind-of covered by all of you and reflects the issues I have with my car in particular.
1. I tail, brake and blinker lights are all 1 bulb
2. My blinker is controlled by the GEM (general electronics module) and can't be changed, tuned for, or otherwise adjusted to compensate for the lower amp draw so it's hyperblink or nothing for my Focus
3. If I go rear LED, I'll have hyperblink so I might as well switch the front running/turn signal to LED as well, but at the end of the day I only have 4 bulbs to worry about anyway so is there really any gain to be had in the first place??
