Hey guys,

just wanted to know if I put some orange/amber LED's in my clear side indicators will they flash funny or anything?


Cheers.

Might do, the flasher can needs a bit of current drain to work right. There is a way around this, you can buy a electronic flasher can. Or bolt a load resistor to the car and wire it up to the indicators.

I have a pair of (really crappy el cheapo) LED's in my side indicators, and the indicator speed is the same. If you change the front or rear ones though it will change the speed.

Yeah I put the LED's in. They flash exactly the same speed. Might see if I can work something out with the front and rear indicators...

Mine look exactly the same. I just bought 380 clear indicators from Mitsu for $11.80 and put in some 3 dollar amber LED's from ebay. Works great!

Hey mate, one of the next plans that I have for my TF is to swap out the lights to LED (including interior), so is there an easy way out for the front and rear indicators?

The easiest way is to install resistors.

I've looked into it. Now I have a few more questions. Instead of doing so, is it possible to replace the flasher relay unit for the indicators? (if so, where is it located?)
Also, what globes are used in the indicators?
