"starting with the led on" means that when you press the turn signal button the light comes on right away and then it blinks off and continues to flash. [...] I read somewhere that the 2-wire flashers typically start in the off portion of the cycle so there is a delay period before the light comes on. I don't know if this is actually the case or not. I ordered the 2-wire flasher. I might order the other flasher I saw with three wires.
My understanding: Traditionally, it is the current flowing through the 2 wire circuit that enables the old-fashioned flashers to heat up a bimetal strip, using the light filaments to limit the current, and then break it when it gets hot, turning the lights off, the bimetal strip cools and bends back, then completes the circuit again. This would require the lights to come on immediately when the turn signal switch is first activated, no?
