changed to all LED indicators successfully

[Gstraw]

Hey

i got all the stuff i needed and in the space of 10 mins I changed all my indicators- looks great

BUT!

I was finishing off and came to lock the car and realised that the short flash is literally sooo short you can barely see it! you have to look direct at the car! its because the LED's cut the power short and there is less heating and cooling. so because of this its an absolutely tiny flash and I can't tell quickly if the car is locked or not now.

any fixes around this? like any way to increase the time they would stay on?

p.s when doing 3 button presses the led flashes for a long time as the previous light did so thats no problem...its just the 2 clicks to get to deadlock

thanks

Use a small capacitor on each led? Shrug...

Hmm I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem though? When I put the stock led flasher unit in locking the car is fine and the lights stay on for a length of time but when I indicate it flashes so fast like the bulbs are out

Can't win unless u can get the car to make a beep noise when I lock it?

Just change the indicator relay to one that is suitable for leds and filaments

Yeah I done that but it's not keeping the lights on when locking the car

Most likely something to do with the new relay. I have bypassed that route and used load resistors (these are like normal resistors but with a major heatsink on it) and my bulbs behave well.

Any links to what you bought?

Thanks

the relay i got has my indicators working as the did when i had filaments in - the relay came from the states and i've no idea who the seller was.

Thats what i have, just 50W load resistors
