BUY MY SPARE KIDNEY!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 3,935 Joined: 29-August 04 From: Santa Ana, CA Member No.: 2,648 Region Association: Southern California ![]() |
I have a question about electric flasher units. I would like to replace my incadescent bulbs/lamps with LEDs, to trim the wattage/amperage usage. I've noticed when my electrical system is under load I get a bit of extra load on my 1.8 as the alternator is working itself to death. Also when using LED lights in place of the incadescent ones, they don't pull enough amperage to trigger my OEM flasher (heat-driven).
Anyhow, does anyone make electrical flasher units? Where can I get one that I might even be able to wire in myself? I have knowledge on electrical systems (diagrams, simple circuits, etc) but nothing as complex as making my own up. Has anyone replaced their OEM flasher unit with an electrical one? TIA. |

I think I'll run one for both sides and the hazards. This will work great with my wide-angle LED bulbs I bought oh-so-long-ago at Superbright LEDs. I'm not sure how much current they flow. Like I said, I'm no EE, I just know it has to be 12V and use <= 15 Amperes. Here's the specs from the eBay auction:
Operating Systems: 6 Volt and 12 Volt Operating Voltage: 5 Volts to 17 Volts DC Max Current: 15 Amperes Max Watts: 180 Watts Dimensions: 1.8" X 0.8" X 0.3" (aprox.) Selectable Flash Rates:- 90, 60, 50 or 40 per Min. (aprox.) |
