Problems

Post by dunnin21 » Wed May 02, 2012 6:09 pm

Just thought i would pick your brains, I wire in sum new indicators the other day there off a pajaro anus. think the bulb is 5w its the small push fit style like on side lights on sum cars. The problem is now all my indicators are flashing too quickly. Would some sort of resistor be needed to slow them down like what people use on bikes when fitting LED lights, or do you guys think it could be some think else at fault. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Andy

I think your right that it may need a resistor. What wattage have you got now for A-B-C.

Easiest fix if you can :thumbup:
Not sure a 5w front indicator would pass a MOT anyway :er:
