Default Relay Wiring Help

I've just bought a Kellerman Relay to fit with a set of LED Indys. I'm not too hot on the electrical side of things! and could do with a bit of advice please. I'm not sure on which connections i need for the the new relay due to the existing Suzuki relay having 7 pins. Fitting guide says i need to find ground connection, permanent plus and a pulsed plus. I'm fairly sure of the pulsed plus being the light blue wire but can't fathom the other two needed. Here's a diagram of the existing relay, any help will be greatly appreciated.

p.s. am i right in thinking that each indicator has one plus and one minus wire? If so, is the plus wire usually the striped one?

Why are you replacing the realy? Should only need to fit a resister to each led indicator.

Black with strip is neg and black is pos..

When working with electrics that have been standerdised black is ALWAYS live

Cheers for that info. Fitted indicators with capacitors but they were still flashing too quickly, was told a relay would cure it.

Ooo now, its flashing to fast because there to much energy so you nee da resister wired in parrallel to the indicators. 21 w resister would be fine. Take the capacitors of they doing bugger all.

I was thinking of getting relays to replace my resistors because they get insanely hot, and its a bit of a worry

Ok thats normal, a resister is basically a small heat sink, it burns the excess energy off as heat.

If they getting too hot as in when you touch them they burning, or close to then the resistor is too small and is over working

[GEEKMODE]According to my calculations it is the right size of resistor[/GEEKMODE]

Then it burnign off energy at its standerd temprature, if you worried get some inline boxes and stick resistors in there.

What wattage resistors you using?

The standard bulbs were 21W and the new bulbs are 10W. The resistor is 12Ω

Inline boxes?

My mistake, resistors not capacitors. They were H10r from maplins, 10 watt 10ohm as recommended on a previous thread.
