LED indicators ?
Kosmo - 20/1/08 at 08:05 PM

Can anyone tell me what type and value resistors do I need for LED indicators to get them to flash at the correct speed ?

Also, anyone using side repeators on wing mirrors and are there any that at SVA OK ?

Cheers,
Kosmo

I believe the best answer is to use a led flasher unit made for the job. I sell mirrors with built in led's but would always recommend they are fitted in addition to standard side repeaters. HTH

If you look down the page for my good mate "stott''s entry you'l see he's enclosed a handy little calculator for just such a purpose

I used an LED flasher unit before I replaced it with something else.

I've got it in the garage if it's any use?

chockymonster, why did you replace it and with what....? this looked the best option
