has anyone used these to fix led flashing

[card16969]

I was wondering if anyone had used these to fix the problem with the leds flashing too fast on our bikes... i read on another forum that they should be the right size to replace our flasher relays but i was wondering if anyone had used them and if so what their results were.

Yes it does, direct swap.

Maybe I got a bum relay but its the same one you bought and my flashers dont work.Stock relay works for the back LEDs but the switchbacks up front wont flash at all.

Well I will take back what I said.Once I put the 10 ohm 10 watt resister in line this flasher works and the flash rate is correct now.My switchbacks now flash, just needed the load added to the circuit.

Glad you got it sorted!

What a pain but I like a challenge sometimes.Got some resisters from radio shack.Weird why some people have switch backs that work and mine needed the extra load.I took back the EP35 relay as that didnt work at all.It just chattered.

I soldered the resister between the + and - of the signal circuit on both sides in the front.I now have the right flash rate.I pulled the pins out of the plugs, positive from one side and neg from the other side and then soldered it to the pin and slid them back in the plug.I will take some pics.
