Hi all, I want to use led lights on the rear of my indy, but i have standard lights on the front, can i just swap the flasher relay for a led flasher to stop the indicators flashing too fast, or is there any thing else i need to do. cheers.

just put a resistor on the leds that should do it.

yes, but it not a direct swap.

elcetormechanical flahser units have two pins - 12 v supply and indicator siwtch.

the electonic ones, like wot you want to use, - have third pin - earth.

you would need to run one more wire, no big deal really.

and a better way to do it than bodging resistors into the wiring

I think I have a brand new LED flasher somewhere.... Yours for a small contribution...
