    adjusting flasher speed with resistors

    hi guys, im stalling some leds blinkers / indicators on the dc5 and it blinks really fast due to the power difference.

    i believe you can install a resistor or some sort to solve this. anyone can direct me in the right direction would be great , maybe a link

    ps. is the resistor in the dc5 5pin?

    From my research the ones ur using are notorious for having loose led bulbs which stop working after a while.

    Your best option may be to buy some leds and actually solder them onto a board.

    It's a lot of work but a lot more reliable than those ones ur using.

      most (all?) resistors are 2 pin...

        na those arent the resistors im talking about.

        its actually a flasher/hazard can thats in the fuse box. i think i find it last nite. it has 3 pins, can anyone confirm?

        i believe i just have to replace those for it to work in the dc5
