How did you go about connecting that style of relay? I have LED's on just my brake lights right now and I love how much brighter and responsive they are compared to the incandescent bulbs. I wanted to run LED's in the turn signals as well but I know I will either have to modify the flasher relay somehow or run load resistors on each corner of the car (1 per turn signal bulb) which is not what I really want to do since I'll have to drill holes somewhere on the body to mount them since they get really hot.
