What are you guys using to slow the flash rate down, a different relay or inline resistors, if the resistors what ones do you use?

10 watt 10 ohm resistors - about 40p each from Maplins

...wired in parallel with the indicators

my front led indys , the ones from canada. http://www.watsendesign.com/Suzuki_Products/SV/SV_Products.htm

came with 10 watt, 4.3 restistors, so i just got the closest to them which is 4.7 gonna give them ago,

they slowed the front down, but when i changed the back toi l.e.d aswell they sped up again

You will need to add a set on resisters in parallel to the rear bulbs as well then, as it's total resistance of the system, that is both bulbs. Changing each one will alter the values. Alternatively just using 1 set of 10 Ohm resisters (either front or read) instead of 2 sets of 4.7 Ohm resistors (Back & rear) should work :wink:

ive got 4.7 for the rear and 4.3 at the front, im guessing this should be ok?

Only way to tell is to fit them, or actually do some maths. But doesn't sound too far off to me.

If the 4.3Ohm resistors slow it down enough, 4.7 should work fine too. Afterall, we're only talking about 12v.

The only side effect is that it might slow them down a little more than it should. Even so, it should still be legal & MOT-able.
