    Default Quick indicator questions

    Hi all,

    Just need to know something - I'm running LED indicators in the back mixed with standard front/side globes. Besides flashing really quickly (need to repin the led relay I have or get one with correct pinout) will mixing them cause damage over time, also will the fast flashing cause damage? Is the fast flashing due to a difference in voltage or just the car thinking the globes are gone?

    Just so I know how long I can put it off

    all it will do is get hot and blow the std globs

    the flasher can are designed for 2-3 32w globes for each side, putting led's in require less than 5w so yeah it thinks there is no globe

    Thanks guys exactly what I wanted to know, red ss ute I have the relay but purchased the one with the wrong pin out (when flipped upside down with a paper clip to make the earth go to the top it works and makes them flash properly), will get some globes for the fronts before I do blow them and wouldn't have a clue because it's already flashing too quickly and the correct relay (can't get the pin out of the holder to move it to the top position to the bottom)
