Turn Signal Parking Light Swap

Does anyone know an easy fix for the fast blinking that takes place when you swap the turn signal and parking lamp locations? I mounted my ARB and swapped the turn signal from the bumper to the corner lights but they blink fast like a bulb is out. Thought maybe a fuse could be swapped or something knowing one is a lower voltage and most likely causing the issue. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe switch your flasher relay out for an electronic version that's not load-dependent?

The older flasher relay has a resister that when cut out will flasher normal with lower resistance bulbs.

Some of our trucks came with them some had newer version that lack resistor. But older version is plug and play with our trucks. Google should return part numbers and tutorials on how to do mod.

This^^^
But
with lower resistance bulbs.
perhaps you meant, higher resistance = lower current draw = lower power lights which LED lights are
