indicator speed

[deano1978]

Changed aload of lights inside and out,hids,leds...
No problems.
Now ive changed the rear indicators to led,everything works fine except indicators flash double speed.

Usually suggests bulbs out but theres not. Is it something to do with resistance?
Anyhow is this an mot failure? I kinda like the strobe like indicators.

You will need to fit an inline resistor or fit can us compatible bulbs.

Strobe lights haha nice, can't confirm but think that'd fail an MOT, like Brillo said stick some resistors in

Its nothing to do with can bus!

the flasher relay works by having resistance from the bulbs to make them flash at the correct rate once the resistance goes ie a bulb pops you have a faster flash rate

fitting LED's has less resistance hence a faster flash rate

you can put resistors inline to give resistance again or you can fit LED bulbs with resistors built in which will be advertised as can bus compatible

Thats what i thought. Cheers guys.

indiactors must flash between 60-120 times a minute
