Hazard Lights

I've done lots of searching on this so I know it's a re-occurring question and I've got some helpful stuff but I'm still stuck on how to start. Basically I've got Sierra stalks with there plugs and wiring and I'm connecting to a ZX9 loom. I think I'm half understanding but will I need some kind of hazard flasher relay or just a standard flasher relay from Halfords. I've an indicator relay already on the loom can I use this in some way.
Cheers in advance. I know this is a common question.

If you have the sierra switch and the sierra relay it will do the lot.

I split it out of the sierra loom and got it running with a perm +12v for tha hazards and a switched +12v for the indicators plus an earth.

So I need a Sierra relay then? Is it called a flasher relay or a hazard relay?

I can work out a wiring diagram if needed.

Just read about the bike loom. That I can not help you with. But you could still use the sierra bits to do it instead if nobody gives you any other ideas.

No thats great mate. I got a good idea from a sketch in Steve Gustersons archive I should get it from there. Like I said I just didn't know where to start really. Grateful for that mate. cheers

black is ignition switch live, red is perm live.

there are two wires that feed the bulbs Black/ white trace and Black/ green trace one is left and one is right.( I didnt check which was which).


All other colours as seen at the plugs.

very easy to splice into any loom.

Any help ?

the ford relay will need to see a load of 21W+21W + (side repeater)each side to run
