I've got a 2013 Ford Expedition EL King Ranch. I am currently doing a full LED conversion on all the lights. I have done all of the lights but I am having hyper-flashing. Does anyone have any recommendation for bulbs to get with built in resistors to stop hyper-flashing? If so, what bulb(s) should I get and which bulb(s) should I replace with these LED Bulbs with built in resistors?

If you leave one old regular bulb in they will flash normal or you need a resistor like you stated.

LASFIT Led's I have found work great and are super bright. They have resistors built in. https://www.amazon.com/LASFIT-Resis...uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
I have also used Boodled bulbs. But they don't last long if you use the running lights a lot. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J6H21NB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There is also synticausa bulbs: https://www.amazon.com/Canbus-Yello...fix=boodled+3157+resistor+amber,aps,58&sr=8-5
And I used to love socal led switch backs however you have to wire the correct plug on to use them as regular bulbs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVN5DTH/ref=twister_B07CZ3KZFV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I much prefer LASFIT bulbs and have had no issues with them so far for over a year.

Not a problem. You can go with any brand bulb and use forscan to turn the hyperflash off but I prefer the resistor bulbs since they are so much brighter than regular leds plus you don't have to turn hyperflash off.
Thanks for all the links and the help! I have put LED bulbs in every light possible on the vehicle. The only ones with built in resistors are the headlights and fog lights (maybe). To get this hyper flashing to stop, I need to change the LED front turn signal bulbs and the rear brake / turn light, correct? I will definitely get one of those bulbs with the built in resistors for the front turn signals and then I just need to find something for the rear LED brake/turn lights.
For the Front Turn Signals, I was thinking about going with these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JGMCHGT/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A2CX108GRQYFOC&psc=1

For the Rear Brake Light / Turn Light, I was thinking going with these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NF7NPB6/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2CX108GRQYFOC&psc=1
Whatcha think?

You can go with the synetica's however, I will warn you that in my past experience, while they work for resistor bulbs, I have had multiple pairs rust at the connector where it plugs into the socket. THEY ARE NOT WATERPROOF CONNECTIONS! So if you go with them, my suggestion is to wrap them in electrical tape or put a bunch of dielectric grease on the connections.
My PERSONAL suggestion would be to use these for the front: https://www.amazon.com/LASFIT-Switc...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
And these for the rear (amber color): https://www.amazon.com/LASFIT-Blink...uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
OR THESE for the rear (red color): https://www.amazon.com/LASFIT-Canbu...=1675783480&sprefix=lasfit+3157,aps,72&sr=8-6
HOWEVER - If you check LASFIT's website, they specifically state that the resistor bulbs (as I just listed above) are not to be used in Ford Trucks. For some reason, they are incompatible and will eventually die. In my 2015 F-150, I had the red resistor bulbs in the taillights, and the right side bulb shorted internally, but only when power was applied. It took me forever to figure out why I had no taillights or right brake light. (I would have figured it out much quicker if I had just used forscan to check the codes in the first place). The stupid thing that ford did was in my F-150, there is no fuse for the running lights, brake lights, nor turn signals. It is all MOSFETs within the body module (so stupid, ford).
