LED flasher unit..?
Can someone help me figure this out as I appear to be having a serious 'numpty' moment..!
Basically I'm planning on changing all four filament indicator bulbs to LED's (de-tango'd). Ideally I'd like to fit the matching LED relay to prevent hyper flashing (rather than fitting resistors to each bulb)..
Now here's where I'm struggling. Apparently there are two types of 3 pin relay, ISO and JSO. I've checked this web site out (scroll half way down);
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...tem=8044293489
But are the diagrams displayed of the relay or socket/connector..?
I've located and checked the one on my 05 scoob and it's as follows:

This may help..?:

you would assume a scoob would be JSO (Japan Standards Organisation) as opposed to ISO..!
Please help..!

Right I think I've sorted it (think)
the relay on my scoob has E, B & L in the following order:

now if the diagrams ON the black (jso) relay in the previous post refer to the RELAY pins (as opposed to connector/socket) then it would seem that my scoob has an ISO relay..
Confirmation would be appreciated and I'd still like to know what the E, B & L stand for.. (L=load, E= earth B= ???)

Right now I'm confused again..!
This is the same ISO relay but the diagram on it has the + & - the other way around..!

Is the diagram on the side of a relay of the relay pin layout or of the socket it needs to be plugged into..?

Don't bother with the relays, just wire a resistor across the wires behind the light unit. I've done this on mine and a mates car and it works a treat. You can get the resistors from Hein Gericke motorbike store for £2 each. Clip them in with a couple of spades and some scotchlocks (I think that's what they're called) in under 10 minutes.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have the same problem as my led indicators flash too quickly as if the bulbs have blown.
Im thinking that a relay is a much more neat solution than splicing wires.
I read online that CF18-08 is the part that I need but cant find this in uk.
Has anyone done this successfully?
