Indiana Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 LEDs have such little load they can't cause a relay to cycle so you need a relay for LEDs or you can put a resister in the line to simulate a buld and keep the old flasher you have There's also custom units that you can program how they flash, if you can't find them for a car, look for them under motorcycles.

StarquestRescue Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yes there are separate flashers for the turn and hazard. Pull one at a time to figure out which is which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 The turn signal flasher is square shaped as opposed to the round shaped hazard relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 as said above its a different relay also, not worth putting the standard LED bulbs in the stock tail housings, cant see them in the day, and look like dots at night, i took mine back out, i had 4 rear LED with the standard advance el12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tg118 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 The turn signal flasher is square shaped as opposed to the round shaped hazard relay.So its one of the 3 relay looking boxes next to the hazard, i pulled one looks like they are 4 prong, anyone have any luck mating an EL12 to that, and how ...

TexasQuest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah the round EL-12 just plugged right in place of the old square shaped flasher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tg118 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) i have turn signals! took some pics the Flasher relay for the Turnsignals is the Black box under the drivers side dash(no the gold metal boxes), right next to the hazard flasher... looks nothing like a traditional flasher http://s1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb468/tg118/?action=view¤t=IMG_1047.jpg And a Pic of the location under the dash, with the EL12 in placehttp://s1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb468/tg118/?action=view¤t=IMG_1046.jpg thanks for the help guys, its nice to have turn signals again P.S. anyone know how to just insert pics, rather than links?

Fuze Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) also, not worth putting the standard LED bulbs in the stock tail housings, cant see them in the day, and look like dots at night, i took mine back out, i had 4 rear LED with the standard advance el12 I'm going with the spider lights for that reason... You can also vary the color of the regular ones, white and yellow are way brighter than red, but red looks best in there if there's enough of them. http://www.ebay.com/...6.c0.m270.l1313 Edited December 9, 2011 by Fuze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
