Have you tried your local car spares dealers ? I thought that the flasher relays were pretty generic ...

Not these days..... used to be only a couple of types (two pin and three pin, bi-metallic) but they're all electRONIC and model-specific now... :old:

I am sure I have read somewhere that L.E.D indicators need special flasher units ?

Try good old E-bay ?

Amps x Volts =Watts

why they don't sell the indicators as a kit with a flasher relay :headbang:

mind you if you stay away from the bling , an stick with the standard indicators
it saves faffing about ;)

Are you replacing all 4 indicators with LED? If 2 are staying standard, there may be enough load on those to keep the OEM type blinking at normal rate.
Otherwise, another option is to use OEM unit and install resistors on wiring for LED indicators (in parallel, I believe, not inline) - the relay reads the "proper" load and blink rate stays the same.

Not sure that the right automotive relay wouldn't do the trick also, though. Some have used this one for example (sorry for the US reference).

hi guys the oxford led's i bought came with a timing adjust lec'y blk box and they worked for about an hour on the road then died,wondering if the stock relay in the front cowling is unhappy with the led set up and is just throwing its toys out of the pram and cant cope so just shuts down.wondering if i get a newer version specificaly for led's ?
