LED light conversion
Hi folks,
I just replaced all my tail/ parking and side marker lights with LED's on my fiberglass CJ. Now I need to find a light duty flasher for this set up. One guy told me I can bury a light bulb in the line so the resistance would be enough to activate the flasher. I thought the turn signal bulbs would be enough current draw but apparently not. Ideas anyone? Thanks |

They have a unit that will operate low amperage lamps for signals. I have used the units on custom motorcycle setups. Might also try an electronic flasher, as some of them will trigger on the signal rather than amperage. |

Re: LED light conversion
I thought the electronic flasher didn't care how many bulbs it flashes.
I know the prick still flashes just fine when I have a burned out signal bulb now. The last flasher had the good manners to stop flashing when a bulb was bad so I knew when I had bulb issues.
