Please help. If I have to rebuild the internals of my motorcycle blinkers one more time, I'm gonna lose it. I am looking to replace my blinker assemblies with some type of solid state LED set-up. I can take care of the aesthetics, but I need help with the internals. Also, I have not purchased any parts yet, so I am a clean slate.
What I am hoping to make is 2 or 3 rows of 8 yellow(or amber if they make them), 5mm LEDs that can be run off of a 12v DC system. Can anyone make a schematic to show this so I can build them?
Even better, can anyone show the same as above, but having half the LEDs solid on and half designated for the blinker?
The last problem I have is that my flasher relay operates off of the load it normally sees off of the original 1157 type bulb. I think what I want to make is a "load ballancer" or a "load equalizer" to up the resistance the flasher relay sees at each blinker. Can anyone make a diagram for that one?
Again, I would be very grateful for any help you could give. I've been wanting to do this for a long time.
