I'm intending to use LED lighting all round my car, except for the headlights.

I am aware that using a standard loom, I will need to correct the indicator flash rate. As far as I can see from searches on here, there are two options for this:
-LED flasher relay
-Inline resistor

I want to use the inline resistors, as it seems it will be a simpler solution. Any opinions on this?

Also, is there anything else I need to be aware of before I start getting all the lights?

Indicators
Rear lights

Any suggestions for rear LED fog lights?

Thanks,

James

i made a post last week about LED flasher relays. apparently, standard flasher relays can be modified to stop them flashing too quick.

it seems a simple case of removing one of the pins from the electronics in the flasher.

on the issue of changing to a led flasher or putting inline fuses. it would be cheaper and easier to just go with an led flasher relay wouldn't it? you can get them for about £8

Use an electronic flasher unit.

Resistors is just a bodge. They draw the same current as using bulbs and get hot so whats the point?

I would have thought that the led flasher unit would have been the simplist answer as it should be a direct replacement.

Also I would check if the trailer lights are "E" marked as someone was selling a set eariler in the week. HERE

YES those lights are e-marked. i've got some

As above - dont bodge it for the sake of an £8 relay. The resistors can generate a lot of heat

The resistors have to generate lots of heat. This means your alternator has to work harder. That takes power.

Use a flasher relay.

Ok thanks for your replies, a flasher relay it is!

Thanks,

Those rear lights are smart, wish I hadnt cut flaming big holes in my wings now.
