Does any one know where I can get an electronic flasher relay?

I've changed all my rear light bulbs for LED ones but the problem I have is that the indicators flash too fast.

I've been told I need an electronic relay instead of the thermal one that is standard.

Ideally I need it to fit as a direct replacement as I don't fancy trying to wire in a diferent one.:cry:

You dont need to do this mate, just put some small resistors in line ( the wires that go to the indicators) not 100% sure what resistance you need but obviously it's easy to work out. hope this helps.

Thanks for that.
Working out the resistance is the easy part, do I need one resiter per bulb? or can I just put one on the front one that would match the total resistance needed?

One will do (as in one per side), I run one on the front indicators on the Celica as its the easiest to get to. And has the best cooling, as they can get a bit warm.

Only problem is, if a bulb does go you won't know about it.

Ultraleds used to sell little sealed resistor units last time I looked, but were a bit expensive.

BTW, this should be in the styling forum ;)
