Electricals Question, Electrical Flasher units Options

[Brando]

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.

Having just designed an led system for a euro product we are doing - I would be concerned.

I use on the euro mower I just did - 2 led turn signals on each side of the vehicle - each light draws .25A so there is a .5A draw on the flasher unit.

I went with what the lighting company recommended - (Grote Industries). When I go the led flasher relay I wanted to see it work. It did not - after talking with the tech rep there I learned that the flasher unit I got required 1A of draw to work.

I had to go to another led flasher relay that they had just come out with - requires .06A draw. It worked.

Watch your specs -

You should be able to wire it in - just get the correct wires to the correct plug on the flasher relay.
