| Post subject: | Front Indicators |
For me front indicators seem to suffer from the ingress of salt and water. An alternative solution... Purchased this from ebay. LED panel for 12 volts @ £2.45 Attachment: DSC03266.jpg Fitted in a Nylon indicator housing, would also work with the metal housings. Remove the existing wire, contact and spring. Solder connections, sealed with heat-shrink and glue gun. Attachment: DSC03268.jpg Because the array sits further back the lens /diffuser works better and appears as bright as a normal bulb. Have tried LED bulbs but the cheap items are not very bright. ps.you will need an LED flasher unit. |

Normal flasher uses the current from the bulbs to trigger the thermal relay. LED's only use a few millamps, so no current no flash. Could use one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flasher-Can-1 ... _657wt_907 |

@Is that not RH - stnd, LH - LED's? Sorry to be anal... Nope. All looks different in the flesh. The "bulbs" show round/halo effect, due to the the lamp and reflector. @Thats clever does the car change colour as well?? Painted with Thermochromics paint  ps The camera never lies. |
