led indicators flashing too fast

[rahmed88]

Hi all,

I bought some LED indicators, fitted them fine although whenever I run the indicator, it flashes quick (like if a bulb has gone out). I bought the bulbs off ebay, I cant post the link as I am relatively new to this forum.

Has anyone else had this problem? or has anyone else bought bulbs that work? I know that you can fit led indicator relays but I dont want to go down the road of fiddling with wiring.

Thanks for responses

You need a different relay, no wiring required, just swap the indicator relay for one that is compatable with LED's. Try Ultraleds (google search).

Thanks for your reply Pete. I didnt find the relays on ultraleds but I did find them on ebay. Do you know where the relays are located?

Mine are led and there fine?

Mine are led and there fine?

some are loaded with resistors to imitate the standard current draw

where did you buy your from? I found the relay, its marked 100 (not sure why) and has 4 pins. i found a 4 pin on ebay but its for a honda and the pin seem to be in different positions. can anyone point me in the right direction to where i can get one for a seat?

damn, beat me to it.

Put a resistor in the wiring loom. That'll sort it

Got mine from eBay, it's a kinda sealed unit so
Maybe it has resistor inside.

Hey can you post a link to the ones you bought please. I wanna try avoiding doing any wiring

use an led type relay be easiest way

i tried finding a 4 pin relay but havent had any luck. only found for hondas ..if you can find one for seats then pls post thanks

or google ' led flasher unit 4 pin'

i had a look at this. but pins dont seem to be in same position as the standard relay. i found some 4 pin relays on the autobulb website. i will take out the standard relay tomorrow and see if i can find one with the same pin layout!

 

[rahmed88]

i had a look at the standard relay and the ones on autobulbs, and they dont match. i reckon a 3 pin may fit. before i buy it, has anyone tried this??
