LED turn signals

I was just browsing the Round-Eyes website and saw this. I know a few guys were having issues getting their turn signals to function after going to LED's.

The cheap way is to just add some resistors in line. But a few had expressed thier dis-interest in doing that.

so for $30 you can get a new flasher designed to work with LEDs.

Good find Nick.

Hmm, now I just need to find me some taillight fillers to have some really cool trail tails. (or is that what you call your female wheeling companion?)

Electronic flasher- $10, replaces mechanical flasher. Made LEDs work on my jeep.

You guys running LED's front and back, and in the dash? That's what killed mine.

I found some 25 watt, 15 ohm resisters (big honkers) at Fry's for a buck each. Haven't put them in yet, but that should be plenty of draw for an electronic flasher.

(15 ohms at 14 volts is a 13 watt draw).
