Yes, unless you like fast flashing leds.
The reason being is that the halogen have a higher resistance. The leds don't, so all the load equalizer is, is a resistor to help so the flasher senses resistance and doesn't turn on/off fast.

Thanks for the info. Anybody used this particular brand before? They look just like Kury Mini-Bullets, but I'm wondering why they're so inexpensive...

My guess is that since they say "single element" and there's no mention of LEDs is that it's just a standard bulb.
Usually, if it's LED they're not shy about telling you OR charging you!
they are not LED... they have a bulb in them... in all honesty they are not as small as you think either, just a bit smaller than your stock set up...if you do go with LED later you can get resisters at radio shack and wire them in... i have led turn sigs all around on mine... i like the hyper flash, i had the resister on there then took it off cause i think it is cool... they start slow then go fast! i like that
here they are on you tube

Yeah, I realized that right before I checked back in with this thread.......noticed that lack of "LED" mentioned anywhere in the description.
Are LED's really all that, or would incandescents be a better bet?

I believe Element should be referring to the filament in the actual bulb
