hey

i put some new indicators in front of my car.
And they word with led's
And now my indicators going fast like there is a bulb broken.
I am thinking a puting a resistor is in row with the front indicators.
Anybody got a hunch or experience what resistor i got to use?
cheers melvin

bought a digital flasher relay for use with led lights.

bought from ebay

Forget about the ballast resistors as they just produce heat - grab an electronic flasher from eBay.

Bodge way would be to wire in an extra bulb under the dash somewhere...

For value, a bit of ohm law...

21w at 12v = 1.75A
12v / 1.75A = 7ohms

Remember, the resistors will need to be able to handle 21w. You'll need the wire wound, ceramic coated ones. Probably have to settle for 2 x 15ohm (>10watt handling) wired parallel to create 7.5 ohms.

thanks

just bought a electric flasher for led lights
wil be the best way to fiks it
thanks for the replay
cheers melvin

sorry to bring this one back to the top again but...

My indicators are going to fast.. I have normal 10w bulbs for front and sides but LEDs for the rear. the rears have the resistors wired in parrallel though (resistors on a heatsink as supplied by SVC). i am also using a bright 6 module..

thought this would be ok but it seems not - should i just get a led type relay ?

cheers

21W bulbs fitted and all OK now!



It's always a 'simple' problem
