My led indicators have caused all my indicators to flash too fast.

I know i need a relay but which one?

On my new headlight it has a different connection on the left hand side, like a 2 pin plug. If this helps?

Ebay link

Is that what i want? If so is that an ok price?

Sorry, Groove Thumbs Up

Can also happen when one bulb has gone, thus theoretically halving the resistance and therefore doubling the flash speed.

Or it could be a relay Thumbs Up

a resistor. Clip on one to slow the flash rate down. Dunno what size though, ask on a specific forum for your bike or try the workshop.

Or, just stick whatever the standard bulb is inline with the LED indicators. Stick them under the seat or something

If that doesn't work, give Type_Mo a PM, he sold me the indicator relay I needed, took 5 minutes to change Thumbs Up

Dont bother with resisters, they are more hassle and it defeats alot of the point of LED indi's i.e. they draw less power from the battery.

What bike have you got, replacing the flasher is a peice of piss turn the indicators on and listen for the click click noise what ever is making it is your flasher pull it out and look at the end and buy one on ebay or just do what I did when my mate got LED indis for his Hornet go too your local bike shop I went to harpers in Benfleet and I got a led flasher unit that is mean to fit all hondas, which it did perfectly, all in all it took about a minute to do. I think the unit cost £19.99.

again, give Saj - type Mo a PM. He sorted me out with the relay unit - calmed the hyper flashing down to more acceptable levels - the inline resistors were absolute pants since all they do is draw extra current and create heat too - wasted power - defeating the whole object of using LEDs.

Saj will set u some for cheap enough and he always does his best to get stuff to you as quickly as possible.
