LED blinkers
« on: March 04, 2014, 02:47:38 PM »
I have a 1979 cb650. I just installed new led blinkers all around. Now they don't blink, they just stay on.  So Ive heard this can be fixed with load resisters, however I've also heard switching the blinker relay with one that supports led functions also works. Which is the better route?

As always thanks for the input

First I would go to a local auto parts store and get a electronic flasher. Now days that is all they carry and that usually works with led lights. They also make bulbs with the resistors built in.
