There is a good aftermarket flasher out there. You can find it at autopart
stores. I found mine at AutoZone. It makes a real good audible click and looks
heavy duty(thick windings, contacts, real copper, ect). I use one for my turn
signal and another for my hazard flashers. One problem, I can't remember the
make. The casing is a dark smoke plastic. I'll check my car at lunch and let
you know. Seems like they were $7 each(expensive for flashers as Buzz makes a
$2 one you can find at Walmart) but it was well worth it.
