Do Hazards have to flash as a full set, or would it be ok sva wise if they were slightly out of syn left to right

running through a single flasher relay - how can they run out of sync???

off the top of my head im sure the manual says they must flash in sync.

I absolutely agree, how can they be out of sync with a standard hazard relay.

i was planning not to use a relay, and LED bulbs, without just adding resistors

A flasher relay actually does the on/off cycle. Were you planning to use two indicator relays, one for left, one for right and running them both at the same time for hazard? That's not how they are normally wired.

As said I don't think the tester will like non-sync'ed hazards on left/right sides.

Found it in the manual
9.1.7.b in the pdf draft manual.

quote:

7. Check the hazard warning device
a. operates with the ignition switched both on and off
b. operates all the direction indicators causing them to flash simultaneously
