The reason for this is that conventional flasher relays work by detecting how much current is being drawn by the indicator bulbs. Because LED bulbs draw far less current than conventional bulbs this confuses the flasher relay which may then flash at the wrong speed or not at all. Super fast postage, swapped my roadaport for full LED so this was a must. Straight swap got me up and running! Test your indicators for each resistor you fit to ensure that they are working correctly and to determine if any more are needed to further slow down the flash rate.

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.a) install resistors (extra solder joints, bulky, generate heat, waste power, weigh a little bit, look fugly) Easy to install – watch the installation guide video rather than look at the relay layout in the manual. This unit is also excellent with most LED indicators. Unlike the original incandescent bulbs, LED lamps are polarity sensitive so you may need to try swapping the connections to each indicator to get the indicators to work okay. We need to extend this wire and fix a spade connector onto the end. Similarly we need to splice into one of the red/white wires and connect in another wire with another spade connector as in the picture below...

As with every modification to your motorcycle, if you are not confident undertaking the work it is always a better idea to take your motorcycle and the indicators to a qualified mechanic. By adding resistors to the wiring you increase the wattage draw from the LED indicators to match what was there before, therefore your existing relay will continue to run as normal with a standard flash rate. As the difference in wattage between LED and standard indicators is generally quite large, it is recommended that you will need one resistors per indicator that you are changing. You can buy 25 watt resistors in pairs here. Simple install and does the job great! I had the new style rear led lights already but needed this after going for JAL front indicator LEDs Easy to find an install, does what its intended for, maybe should be sold altogether as a set with the LED lights.

More importantly this conversion also enables you to fit an LED indicator relay as the indicator relay built into the Piaggio voltage regulator will not flash properly with LED indicators fitted. There are many flasher relays available that look the same as this one, and are described as ‘led compatible’ which will not work unless the current draw is around 0.5A. This is less than the 3.5A that a pair of 21W bulbs requires, but still way more than many led equivalents. This relay works with a current of 0.02A so it will still flash even with the tiniest of connected loads, including any led combination.

Most Piaggio/ Gilera mopeds are fitted with an indicator relay which is built into the voltage regulator unit. Literally just a plug and play affair, swap this relay for your existing flasher relay and it works great to keep your flashers consistent! Plug and play, even for a Caterham novice I got my indicators working immediately, and it’s future proof for the (inevitable) upgrades to LED lamps. A great price, and very fast delivery from a company dedicated to Caterham. A big thumbs up from me, thank you! When it comes to upgrading your current indicators to an LED set, simply plugging in the new units isn't quite enough (although fitting them properly doesn’t require you to be a neuroscientist).If your indicator relay fails it would otherwise be necessary to replace the whole regulator/ indicator relay unit.

Indicator/Flasher Relay 3 pin (Original and LED Indicators)

Suitable for many classic or modern cars, motorcycles or applications with standard filament / incandescent bulbs or LEDs or a mix of filament / incandescent bulbs and LED. way they work out how fast to allow flashing is by the wattage of the system. When you fit LED indicators you adjust the wattage of the system and therefore need a new relay to suit (Or fit resistors). IF THE RELAY DOES NOT BEHAVE WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING YOU NEED TO ADD SUPPRESSION TO THE LEAD BETWEEN YOUR COIL AND DISTRIBUTOR TO REDUCE THE RF INTERFERENCE. This relay and it replaces the standard relay when you upgrade to LED lights. It corrects the indicators flashing too fast without the need to use a load resistors. This relay has been tested on Caterham’s with the Just Add Lightness LED lights. Why do I need this?

Suitable for many other classic or modern 12v cars or applications with standard filament / incandescent bulbs or LEDs or a mix of filament / incandescent bulbs and LED. This applies to EU and other bikes with hazards and 4 pin relays, type Mitsuba FR33-025 (however, if you show me the insides of a 2 pin I can advise as well) LED lights work using a lower wattage than normal bulbs, which is why when you plug them directly in to your existing indicator wiring you'll notice they flash a lot faster than normal and most probably a lot faster than the rate allowed for a UK MOT * We have tested many LED relays on the market and we have found this one to be the best. Some LED relays will work perfectly with either rear LED lights or front LED lights but not both! No two Caterhams are the same and we have found that after extensive tests (with the help of our customers) that the our LED flasher relay will work every time at the correct flash speed. This relay has been specifically designed to handle any LED/standard bulb combination. Where other relays fail, this one does not. Resistors need to be fitted in parallel to the indicator, meaning one end connecting to the positive and one end connecting to the negative.
