Re: LED light conversion
See I was always trying a 552 and even a 532 standard flasher.
I'll have to find an electronic one. I'm learning a lot doing this project! You guys are great, I get a kick outta lots of stuff I see here when I pass by!

Re: LED light conversion
They are quiet too which is a pain in the sun in a CJ with the top
off.... I have considered wiring in an LED above the steering wheel with a couple of diodes to let me know when my signal is on. I specifically bought the 'loud' flasher too! LOL! They put a clicker in some electronic ones.... Mike Mudpuppy wrote: > > See I was always trying a 552 and even a 532 standard flasher. > I'll have to find an electronic one.
