Post by chuxsta »

I just added some arrow led indicators from busters got them for 15 quid and fit fine with standard fixings.

Also fitted a led rear light with built in indicators and needed to get a new relay to slow the rate down, pish easy to fit but added another 20 quid to the bill

as far as im led to believe, i could be wrong, with the LED winker speed its just a case of putting the correct size resistor in the connnection.

seen a guy selling home made ones on ebay for £5 each, per winker.
just need to find out what size resistor is needed.

to make them your self we are talking pence...maybe a whole pound for all 4.

resistors get mega hot and you can not put them on or near plastic or paint. the motrax resistor is hust so easy.

yup they sure do but you can encase them in various things to prevent any damage from the heat...

i would buy a marketed item if they wasnt so over priced for what it actually does...
slowing the rate a set of lights flash, for £20+ is messed up imo.

That's what I did, quick and easy if you get the Honda one :D
