Trying to up date my light system to LEDs, I have replaced my tail lights, front parking lights and the clearance lights. Thinking that the old style flashers would not work, I went to the parts for new units. We found a new two pin unit on the display rack but not the three pin unit. At the fourth store we found a three pin unit but not the correct size. I bought a new four pin socket that would fit and planned to just use three wires. Since the pin layout is slightly different I'm not sure of the wiring.
Anyone else had this experience?
Any suggestions?

A 2 pin flasher will typically work.

3-Pin:
Signal Power In
Signal Power Out
Ground

2-Pin:
Signal Power In
Signal Power Out

4-Pin:
Signal Power In
Signal Power Out
Ground
12V

You do need a Solid State Flasher if you are 100% LEDs.
