    Hi all,

    Had a great ride over the weekend however due to the vibrations of the shovel, I tend to blow a lot of flasher globs.  I have picked up 4 LED replacements however due to the low resistance it will not work with the original the Flasher relay.  I have a LED flasher relay however using the exiting wriring it will not flash just lights up the led's.

    Question to the group is there a set way to install this kind of upgrade?

    Regards,
    Troy

    Thanks Kymbo, your spot on!

    After doing some googling on what a Load Equaliser was, I ended up using a 100 ohms 2w resistor (about the same as 10w globe) in the front flashers and that did the job.

    Looks like the flasher relay I picked up was not compatible with my wiring.

    Has any one set up a auto stay on and cancel after x time?
