LED indicator bulbs flashing too fast.
Having de-tango'd the front of my bugeye completely I've gone ahead and got some lovely LED indicator lamps. Each one has 18 LED's and they look fantastic and give off a lot of amber light.
Anyway, they work fine when the hazards are switched on but if I put the indicators on they flash really fast. Seem to remember someone mention a resistor being needed to increase the load and stop the flashing and I assume this goes in line with the power supply to lamp?
Question is - what resistance do I need to achieve this? Have put some Ebay special silvered bulbs in for now but their output is pants in comparison.
Help please
Andy
