LED light conversion
 

Hi folks,
I just replaced all my tail/ parking and side marker lights with LED's on my
fiberglass CJ. Now I need to find a light duty flasher for this set up.
One guy told me I can bury a light bulb in the line so the resistance would
be enough to activate the flasher.
I thought the turn signal bulbs would be enough current draw but apparently
not.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks

Might try J&P Cycles. They have a unit that will operate low amperage
lamps for signals. I have used the units on custom motorcycle setups. Might
also try an electronic flasher, as some of them will trigger on the signal
rather than amperage.

I thought the electronic flasher didn't care how many bulbs it flashes.
I know the prick still flashes just fine when I have a burned out signal
bulb now. The last flasher had the good manners to stop flashing when a
bulb was bad so I knew when I had bulb issues.

That's high tech assembly stuff there (to me anyway)!
good links some of them! Thanks

The electronic flasher sounds like good advice.

I did find Badlands make a load ballast for digital and LED applications,
but then the system would require a pulse generator (that runs off a
separate AAA battery). so this could get more complicated than I thought.
I thought someonebody would have figured out a plug-in for this by now?
..
Thanks for your help guys,
Pup

See I was always trying a 552 and even a 532 standard flasher.
I'll have to find an electronic one. I'm learning a lot doing this project!

You guys are great, I get a kick outta lots of stuff I see here when I pass
by!

They are quiet too which is a pain in the sun in a CJ with the top
off.... I have considered wiring in an LED above the steering wheel
with a couple of diodes to let me know when my signal is on. I
specifically bought the 'loud' flasher too! LOL! They put a clicker in
some electronic ones....
