Got a small set of LED indicators fot the front of the bike, and as usual, they are flashing fast. I tried instlling a set of resistors I had gotten with another set of LED's, but still the smae prob. However when I connected the 2 resistors in line for 1 indicator, there was enough resistance and the indicator flashed normally.

Question is, can I find stronger resistors (don't want to have to wire 2 inline for each indicator) or is it easier to just find the flasher can and replace that.

Cheers

I just used one large resistor for mine with no problems

Where did u buy it from? These indicators didn't come with any resistors, and the ones I have are not strong enough

Dick Smith is the go.

They only cost a few cents each so grab a fist full of different ones and just work your way through them till you get the desired result.

Electronic flasher can from Autobarns or super cheap, about 15 bucks. No resistors needed. plug n play.
