L.E.D. blinker fix

Post by mrRocky »

Just fitted a custom bumper after getting sick of breaking one every time i go out. (Cheers Tuls)
Anyways blinkers flash way too fast with led's and i got qouted $80 for a led flasher unit, or $30 for 2 resistors.
Finally with some help from my auto sparky mate figured out that you can use a 2 point flasher unit that costs about $12 and plugs straight in to the fuse box. Just make sure you do not get it the wrong way round or you will blow a fuse.

STANDARD looks like

Led flasher should look like

If you put it in like this you will blow fuses

Part number is Bosch Flasher Unit P122

There is a equivelent narva item also.
Note that the new flasher unit is round and replaces the square one so there are no clips to hold it in so i taped it on as a precaution.
I dont use a fuse box cover either and am unsure if it would fit over the round flasher, but it looks like it would.

Good work.

There is also a flasher unit you can get from Bright Light Auto Parts, i think i paid less than $20, it just plugs straight in and will work with pretty much any combination of indicators.

This is ok if you are running led and incandecent globes. I use to run front led and rear led with incandecent side blinkers with this flasher unit. I recently changed side indicators to led and it didn't work with the flasher. Only way I could get it working was to use the standard flasher and have it flash super fast. Anyone know a flashed to use with full led blinker systems ?

If you pin your rear mudflaps up what will protect your tray from the random shopping trolleys you come across in the bush :D

Front bar looks good ;)

When your running all led's it's rare to have a light out as they last ages and are fully sealed. So is it just moving the wires to match the switcher unit
