Fitting LED rear lights
speedyxjs - 14/10/10 at 07:35 AM

Now that i know i have to change my lights (should have checked about the triangular reflectors) iv been looking at LED ones like these but these would make the indicators flash really fast.

Am i right in thinking i can just fit an electronic relay and they will be fine?

Yeah, the type that's on ebay called multi load or something, they look the best to me, if you swap a couple back to filament lamps later on it'll still run them.

It's about £15

EDIT: Dual Load, here:

Might be cheaper elsewhere I haven't really looked.

EDIT 2: Don't know why that link doesn't look good - confusing

I've not got as far as wiring them yet Speedy, but I have a set of those and they are pretty nifty little things!

Fitted those lights to my nephews trike, they work well.
I have LED lights on my car and used a motorbike electronic flasher unit from Halfrauds works well and as said above if a bulb is put in the cct after then the flash rate stays the same.

Or

DIGITAL UNIVERSAL FLASHER RELAY AND INDICATOR BUZZER on eBay (end time 22-Dec-10 16:27:22 GMT)

Incorporates a buzzer to remind you of the indicators left on - wind noise and sun hide the clickety thing...

Yep wired mine up and they blink too fast.

Have ordered a multi load relay.

Will update with results.

Fitted the dual load relay and all is now sorted. Just make sure you get the same one as you allready have.
