L.E.D. Signal lights flash too quickly
« on: April 10, 2009, 12:29:15 PM »
I have the stock rear signal lights removed and have an LED brake light with the signal lights built in. It was on the bike when I bought it. Due to the low power draw of the LEDs my signals flash at a too fast a rate. The front stockers look like constant on at a glance from a careless cager.
I have heard of a resistor being out in to fix this. Can anyone tell me the right size resistor and where it should be wired in?
Also interested in any LED signals for the front that are flush mount.

Once I thought I was wrong...but I was mistaken.

You can buy a new flasher relay that will handle the LED signals
