Indicator LED Conversion and sidelight help

[chef]

Hi,


Wondering if I can call on your expertise...


I've just detango'd my sidelights and would like to swap the indicator and sidelight round so the sidelight is in the larger area of them however when this is done the indicators flash faster as the bulb used is smaller and therefore creating less resistance. Does anyone know what bulb to go for or what resistor to add?

I'd also like to replace the indicator bulbs with LEDs, is this worth doing? If so can anyone advise on what LEDs/resistors to use?

Apologies if this has been asked before, I've searched on the mighty google a few times and just get info on installing LED rear light lenses.

Thanks,
Dave

Sounds like a job for the Jass flasher module:

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Looks like problem solved

you can fit a resistor also

I'm trialing JASS's flasher module. It works good but there are some bugs.

That's what I had planned to do originally. Struggling to figure out what one I'd need and whether to replace the main resistor or add them at each light. Struggling to find the info on it.

Adding them to each light is probably the simpler (and definitely cheaper) option Dweenimus probably knows what ohm is needed also.

FWIW I like the JASS module flasher performance but the 'tik' of the original is definitely more audible to me. Other issues too but I won't document them here. Vlad knows

Cheapest option and easiest is a 20p resistor from maplin
Can't remember off the top of my head what one it is

Cheers guys. Will do some maths stuff (Or try to) and see what I can come up with. Cars off the road for about 6 weeks so have plenty of time to figure it out.

I've made a thread listing bulbs to get. Don't know which resistor tho.
