Flashers

Post by simps » Fri Apr 08, 2022 8:52 pm

Can anyone give a part number for a suitable electro if flasher unit, I went to the trouble of swapping my rear lights to LEDs and forgot I’d need to swap out the flasher as well 🙄

Oh yes and where does it live?

And do I need separate indicator and hazard units?

Your other option is to load the LED with a resistor
Not sure where the flasher unit is located

Back on topic….

I found a simple mod to avoid hyper flashing when LED indicator bulbs are fitted. You just have to have a bit of a steady hand and be brave 😂

I did and it worked!

You need to tease the board out of the casing it doesn’t come out with the base and you need some small sharp side cutters, but a good deep breath and away we went
