LED side indicator bulbs

Hi,

Can you fit LED bulbs in the side indicators without getting hyper flashing? Or are resistors also required?

PowerfulUK now do led replacement units which is the whole side repeater unit which do not require resisters. Worth a look.

This.

No need for resistors for the side repeaters, as long as you have resistors or normal bulbs fitted to the rears. Thumbs Up

Tried LEDs in the side repeaters, they made the light too yellow for my taste so switched back to the original filament type.

Could do but as I had more white LEDs than I could shake a stick at (salvaged from Dark Bluie), I just bunged them in. They'll do as is for the mo. Thumbs Up

Ah, that figures then - the typical white LED will emit very little red light, so it would look yellow. Thumbs Up

Did you use resistors? I’m just waiting for them to come back in stock.
