As Kev mentioned, depends on the specs of the particular unit if they will work. If you do run into the problem of not enough current to trigger the flasher, some LED lamps can have a load resistor installed to duplicate the regular bulb filament characteristics. Downside to that is resistors get hot, need to be mounted, and you need one per light.

I haven't tried this particular unit to see if would work for us but another possibility is to replace the thermal type flasher with an electronic type which is not load dependent.http://www.lightexports.com/servlet/the-3091/EF33W-automotive%2C-EF33W-hazard/Detail
