Karr-Man 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 ive just received some FK LED repeaters and ive heard that i need to add a resistor to the circuit in order to maintain the standard blinking speed. has anyone had any experience with this as im not sure what rating i need and i would like to get hold of the parts b4 i take my standard ones out...

cabrioman 6 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 neva heard of that thay should just flash at the same speed as the others weather led or normal i would have thought !!!??? Link to post Share on other sites
Karr-Man 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 as far as i had been made aware, leds have a different resistance, therefore with a fixed 12v they are drawing a different current than standard bulbs affecting the relay... (the same way that when u blow an indicator bulb the remaining ones flash faster)i could be wrong about this tho....its only what ive heard, if no one else knows what im going on about then ill just try fitting them and see what happens....

crish72 0 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 LED's do. I tried fitting two LED bulbs as rear brake lights and they flashed twice as fast. So i took them out and never bothered...Chris Link to post Share on other sites
