Flasher relay LED indicators

Post by G3ting »

Hi!

New to the site, own a V-rap -04 (Pics will be uploaded later :))

I'm thinking about fitting LED indicators and now I'm looking for a flasher relay that will fit where the original relay was sitting.

Any tips would be much appreciated!

Hi Tim. Welcome to the Raptor Chapter :thumbsup:

Sorry I can't help with your relay, but no doubt someone will be along soon who can.

Hey there new guy, get yer ass in the bar and get them in,......................... :wink: :nerner:

would luv to help with the relay but done mine with resistors and the standard relay.( Think I still have some resistors) as i modded mine with an all-in-one tail unit and the new front ones I had were built in ones.

Anyway get some pics up and tell us a wee story or summat...........................................

Got to agree with what has already been said. An in-line resistor will trick the relay into thinking that there is a normal bulb. Some LED units already have this built in.

Just ordered these from fleabay for my dad, item number 270984823270.

Thought it was worth a punt for the price and could be cheaper than the resistor option? will find out how he gets on with them

hey and what can I say welcome in and get a round in - mines a Mojito :-)


BTW Weirdo - I did tell you this over the weekend - suppose I will have to get used to not being listened to! :fight:

Thanks for all the replies!
I have considered the simple solution with using resistors, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to things like these :)
