Hi i have a fault on my indicators i think i know the problem but i wanted second opinions before i go purchasing things.
Basically whats happening is my hazards are flashing at normal speed but when indicating they are flashing at double speed, i am putting this down to
my side repeaters being LED, the front and rears however are not LED.
Now whats the best method to solve this do i fit a resister to each LED indicator or can i just buy an LED flasher relay or would this not work due to
only 2 out of the 6 indicators being LED
thanks
Do it properly and get a digital flasher realy I think this is what the LED one it will be ( seller should be able to confirm )
then they will alwats falsh at the right speed regadless of Load or if when you upgrade others.

thats great thats exactly what i wanted to know, to be honest i was hoping i could do that its a neater job and just as cheap!
Just a note, I think the electronic flashers have a load limit of 10W.
Standard Indicator bulbs are 21W each.
If you want to mix and match LED's and bulbs, use the electronic flasher to drive a relay
and from there drive the collection of lamps.

this one says 0.1w ~ 150w so should this just plug and play and run both as 4 bulbs and 2 led wont be over 150w
Sounds good to me.
I'd fit resisters if was mine, otherwise you'll have no visual warning of a failed bulb (fast flash) pretty sure its a legal requirement.
or convert the rest to LED no blown bulbs to worry about then
sorry ran out of time I run my digital one with a mix of both LED ( front ) and Fillament rear and side looks very similar to the link above.

I had to do a double take there. I was going to make an identical thread after I fitted some new rear lights yesterday. I'm having the exact same problem with hazards flashing fine but indicators flashing fast. Looks like I'll be buying one of those flasher relays.
