Led Lights

nice one bob got some gold coins in the fridge can pay you with them have to keep in fridge otherwise they melt away

You could try putting some lamps (see Bob I can learn) in the original side repeater holders which are taped up inside near to the badges covering the side repeater holes. That should give you some more resistance for the relay.

[tractor]

will give that a go ozz

Sensible suggestion -- one of few -- anyone nearby that could loan you a flasher relay that definitely works with all LEDs?

[Longboarder]

Your rapid flash with standard relay confirms the bulbs are fine. Zilch with the LED relay suggests you have bought a relay with the pins in the wrong positions or wrong voltages. There are many layouts of flasher relay pins and some different labelling formats too. Compare the pin numbers, 31 49 49A, and their positions on the bottom of the relays to check. If its not that then I'm stumped. Don't understand electronics.

Nigel bet me to it. Relay pins different. You may have to make a small wiring harness to connect it correctly. Did this myself a few weeks back

[tractor]

wot did you do macca got a picture of your little loom

[maccavvy]

Female spades onto the relay..2 inch of wire..then a male spade ..1 for each pin..then push each male into the where the relay belongs..easy and simple..2pins on the led relay were opposite each other

Relay no good

[tractor]

cant see both relays being duff

[keith kelly]

can pop round later with my relay if ya want, you break it you buy it though lol.

[fry61]

Compare your old relay pin numbers with your electronic pin numbers & Nigels picture of relay bases -- does that point to a mis-match of pins?

Chris,

 

I've used one of these since pre IVA: http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/3-pin-led-flasher-relay , no problems at all.

But I have full LED indicators, not a match of bulb/LED's or replacement LED bulbs.

 

I've a pair of brand new & unused, in line fuses for LED indicators.

I purchased these before I realised that you could buy relays specifically for LED indicators.

 

If all else fails, you are welcome to them, FOC, just let me know

[tractor]

hi AL yes got one of those from cbs it must be the bulbs

OK, but if you think you need the resistors, don't spend out, drop me a line and i'll chuck them in the post.
