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?
Ta v much

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 would try it on a spare unit.

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
