Hey gang, As I have led indicators all round on the ute they don't flash at all. What do I need to make them flash? Flasher unit from supershit do the job? |

they make flasher units designed for led lights, or you can use those resistors in parallel with each light. i always found this to be a little dodgy looking though, and would work out expensive. |

I brought a cheap LED flasher unit to suit the sierra plug configuration from china, and guess what? it didn't fit so I had to trim it back so it did and it didn't work. I am going to head to jaycar and get one from there |

flasher unit will only slow the rate of flash down.... if it dont flash ..dont think it will make it do it...but i might be wrong |

Above the accelerator pedal with the fuse box. |

Tried a 3pin flasher unit and no go. It was a 30watt and the stock unit is 27watt. Would that make a difference? |

Wattage won't make a difference. Probably better off getting some resistors from Jaycar and wiring those in and use standard flasher unit |

Nope cus it they still lite up with the original unit in Ok thanks scrawn I'll give that a crack |

I tryed the jay car ones and they didn't work... So bought a set of narva ones from supershit. And the worked a treat... |

Most of the flasher units on the shelf are wired backwards to the ones in a sierra. The left and right pins are swapped. I ran one with some jumpers for a week or so while I got one the right way around. take a look at the pin layouts before you order another. |

Got some resistors today and wired them in. They all flash now, just a bit faster than normal globes but none the less they flash. Thanks the help zookers

I had to get 2x 12w load resistors on each blinker to get mine back to spec, there is a specific rule to how many flashes per min in nsw for it to pass rego. |
