Hazard flasher v Turn signal flasher

I have searched for quite some time and cannot come up with a concrete answer to a couple of questions I have.

I am going to be switching my rear bulbs to LED when I install my STS kit in a few weeks. I already know I need to have an LED flasher installed otherwise the LEDs will not function properly.

Last year I changed out what I thought was my turn signal flasher but apparently ended up being my hazard light flasher.

The question I have is, where are the two flashers located and are they exactly the same part? The flashed I changed out was in the convenience center and had two prongs on it. Where is the turn signal flasher and does it look the same?

Pictures and links will make me extra happy. I've seen some people give links to three prong flashers, others to two prong flashers. I've got an 89 GTA if it makes any difference.

Thank you! Are they both the same part? Ex: same number of prongs?

Yes the same, 2 prongs. The LED flasher I found/used have an extra ground wire.

Thank you for the help. All the threads I looked at and I couldn't figure it out. The picture makes it super clear!

Any chance on a part number? Lol

If you type "led flasher 2 pin" on ebay you will find the exact same ones I have used in the pic http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-PIN-PRONG-TERMINAL-RELAY-ELECTRONIC-FLASHER-12-VOLT-LED-TURN-SIGNAL-LIGHT-/231025309223?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35ca2e7627&vxp=mtr
