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

Might try J&P Cycles. 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.

I thought the electronic flasher didn't care how many bulbs it flashes.
I know the ***** 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.
