Default Flashers for LED turn signals

Hello,
Does anyone know where the turn signal flasher on my 2006 Xb is located? Where can I get a flasher unit that will work with LED lights? A part number would be great also.
Thanks
RVH

No, The flasher controls the normal blinking of the bulb. there is a special one for LED's so that they dont blink really fast.

I did not see a relay for the flasher unit in the fuse box.

I kind of thought it might be under the dash but the only place I have looked so far is under the hood. Just thought somebody might have messed with one before and might know to save me some hunting.

I found the flasher, it is behind the coin holder near your left knee when you are setting in the car.

First off this is in the wrong spot.
Should have just listened for it while it was blinking. The sound would have lead you right to it.

In a previous thread I said I found it behind the coin holder by your left knee when you are setting in the drivers seat. I've already replaced it with a flasher made for use with LED lamps that I bought at superbrightleds.com
