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. LED lighting draws much less power (load) and lasts way longer than standard incandescent lighting. Replacement of indicator bulbs with LED’s will cause the indicators to flash too fast. This happens because your new LED lights draw such little power. Installing an LED flasher relay specifically designed for LED lights is the easiest method to solve this problem. What about load resistors? Resistors get hot during operation, so wrapping them in tape can lead to resistor over heating or worse melting plastic parts around it. 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... 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.

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!
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. a) install resistors (extra solder joints, bulky, generate heat, waste power, weigh a little bit, look fugly) So, to slow your flashing down you have to make the wattage draw similar to how it was with the original indicators, and you can do this by fitting either a new indicator relay unit or with resistors. 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. 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.

Double-Bubble screen replacements from Airblade, with three different smoked options-What more could you want? The red/white wires connect directly to the +12v positive connection on the battery after passing through the ignition switch and scooter main fuse so is a perfect place to take the power supply for our LED indicator. 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.This guide shows you how to bypass the built-in Piaggio indicator relay and fit a universal 2-pin indicator relay instead.
