Hi everyone this is my first post I hope it is the right section.
Let me explaing my problem
I whish to substitute the turn signals lights of my motocycle with leds. The problem is that with leds the signals will turn too quickly due to the different courrent adsorbed by the led. I know that the solution usually used is to put a lamp or a resistance in parallel to the led in order to simulate the original lamp.
To be honest I don't like too match this solution and I was looking for something alternative.
I can't change the rele otherwise the solution would be simple.
Don't think there's anyway around adding a load in parallel with the LEDs. The flasher is designed for a specific current load and when it sees a smaller load, it flashes at a faster rate. That normally indicates you have a burned out bulb.
I recently read about a car that senses the reduced current in an LED tail light, decides the bulb is burnt out, and does something stupid, like refuse to let the air conditioner come on. If we only had more computers in our cars...
Anyway, be watchful. The more computers in the vehickle, the stranger it gets.
My ABS (Anti Lock Braking) fault light was coming on, but only at night.
I had a loose earth connection on one of my stop/tail lights. The ungrounded tail light fed a small voltage into the brake light wiring (through the common fixture) and the computer was confused because I didn't have the brake pedal depressed.
