I am in the need of flasher fuses for The Jr. Mechanic's Monte Carlo since I have all his exterior bulbs converted to LED's. All the bulbs used are from Super Bright LEDs (https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat...led-tower-bay15d-bulb/category/2/+color-Amber). I haven't decided on which brand LED for the dash indicators if I swap out the regular 194's. Just want ones that are reliable & easy to get incase of one failing. To be honest I just don't know where to start looking or the details in some function diferences from some I've glanced over.

I forget who it was but someone here recently told me they used the frosted white "snowcap" style Sylvania bulbs for their dash rehash. I haven't upgraded a G Body cluster to LED yet, however, I converted every bulb on my truck to Sylvania LEDs and haven't had an issue in years. They're available at all the parts stores near me so I imagine finding them in a time of need should be no issue. I forget which flasher I used at the time, and don't know that it would be the same anyway. I used a different brand kit for the gauge lights in that truck, and they're soldered to the board.

It's not the bulbs as a few used are the Sylvania's, just need a flasher that others have have used with good results, The Super Bright LED bulbs used were recommended by mclellan83 for use the light sockets used in most G Monte Carlos.

Rockauto has a Peterson #554 electronic flasher. Those are all I use anymore. They automatically adjust flash rate. There are also other brands of electronic flashers.
