Led Flasher Relay.
Details

If you've customised your bike with LED indicator lamps then the chances are they flash too fast to pass the MOT. Simply fit this wide range flasher relay and guarantee the correct flash rate whatever indicators are fitted.

u jsut need a resistor on each indicator not sure what ohm it is should think itl go on the positve you could jsut buy a bunch and find out which one works better i wouldnt bother with the indicator its like £30 for a resistor that costs Pence.... some one much know the corect one

I think it may be cos the bulbs are only 6w whereas i think most indies are 10 or 21w so if i'm right that would mean there is not as much load on the indies so it's like having a bulb out

Kwak, those are the Eagle eye range are they not?! Very nice I must say, but too pricey for my thin wallet! They run 12v bulbs iirc, but they flash fast due to resistance/current changes from stock part caused by lower power output on these bulbs.

I fitted a resistor of 25w and 10 ohms resistance on mine. These are the metal bodied 'power resistor' range, not the cheaper ceramic/plasticky type! Bought from RS. Maplins do sell them, but I think they only go up to 15w or something if memory serves me correctly.

Please read this thread, as it explains things better than me!

Good luck buddy
