Rear turn signal LED upgrade options

[Ford Guy]

Hey all,
Wondering if anyone knows which LED bulb options there are for the rear turn signals. I just purchased the Syneticus bulbs (photo below) with resistors but they look crappy. Daytime they flash amber/white and at night they just flash amber. They don't look like LED to me. Anyone know an alternative to upgrade the stock light bulbs?
Tks.

This is what I have. No need for the resistor... just turn off the hyperflash with Forscan.

Thanks. Seems to be sold out. I'm in Canada and use Amazon.ca so I'm trying to find an alternative to these. So many options. Is
there a specific number to search by that will fit the ST? I see 3157, 3156, etc. In the item description.
I like the resistor option because I'm a noob and don't know how to use forscan lol.
Tks.

Here are the ones I used (look to be avail in Canada) and as stated above, used Forscan to tell the vehicle they are LEDs now. Forscan is easy, there are a few tutorials out there.

Is the hyperflash setting under the BCM?

yes

Is there any LED swaps that don’t require Forscan just plug and play?

I got a set noted above with photo but they were not good and flashed 2 different colors. I'm not sure I want to spend the $30 on a forscan device and have to figure out how to use it even though it seems simple just for led turn signals so my hope is to find a set that come with resistors to combat this.
The search continues.

Forscan license is about $15 a year too. Its easy to use. Alot of youtube video about it.

I replaced the signal lights with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J5TJV5P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and the reverse lights with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KCDCM1J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Other than a loose connection on the driver signal light I have had no issue.

Interesting. I purchased the same rear turn signal set from Synetica and returned them. My tail lights are tinted but with them installed, they looked like a strobe light flashing amber/white or you could say they flickered. Maybe I received a faulty set?

I did not have any issues, plug and play, no Forscan..

Yours were the dual color switchback model, Travis linked the plain amber model. Be like Travis, get the plain amber.

On Forscan, under BCM. What is the hyper flashing called??

I don't remember the exact setting, but it's an option that refers to LED turn signals that you enable. I think it might have even said rear since the front are already LED.

I found it. Rear Bulb Outage “disable”

Ahh that might be why...
Let me check into that then.
I want to be like Travis in this scenario if that's the case

I used the Signal lights linked above as well, zero issues, no odd flash pattern or color changes.

Confirming that using the amber/yellow only LED lights worked out. No more tri-color of white/yellow. Helps if you look at what you're buying before you do lol.
Thanks for the help.
