LED Flash rate relays...
After fitting my new LED tips, the rear LHS indicator seems to have packed up. I have a similar looking flash rate relay / resistor thingy to this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...id=p2759.l1259 Seems cheap enough, does anyone know if they would work / have similar on theirs? |

Re: LED Flash rate relays...
they're just resistors, plug em in in parallel to your indicators and bobs your mother brother, although they seem a mite expensive for a couple of 5ohm resistors.

Re: LED Flash rate relays...
so could i get a 5 ohm resistor from maplin perhaps?
Does it need to be 12v? |

Re: LED Flash rate relays...
The voltage doesn't matter for a resistor. However the current rating does. I got a set of 2 from eBay for around 6 quid and they've been doing the trick for over a year now.

Re: LED Flash rate relays...
Always use a relay
Resistors are just bodges.
