LED indicator bulbs
TrickyMicky:
Greetings gang. Just to set the scene, I now own a 1987 GB250 Clubman grey import, great fun, has managed to release a few remaining 'moments' from this 75 year old carcass. The indicator relay failed last week, a genuine replacement being available in California at an unbelievable price. Thinking outside the box, it's no different to a car unit, 12volts, 2 x 21watt bulbs plus idiot lights. I looked on the website of my LED bulb supplier (Classiccarleds), and they offer a unit which has done the job, it will cater for filament or led bulbs or even a mix of the two, the flashing rate stays the same, and costs £8.25 + VAT. After completing the task, I then looked at the 400 and thought hmmm, ordered another unit plus 4 LED bulbs, straightforward swap over of units, just plug and play, and if you are nimble with you fingers the unit will fit into the existing rubber housing for the original. Bulbs were all replaced, and WOW! They're good. Hopefully might help somebody with indicator issues. Stay Safe. Mike.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That's interesting information I thought until now if you fit led's you needed an expensive electronic flasher unit to maintain the blink rate
Does the flasher have 2 or 3 terminals?
Moorey:
The last one I bought off Ebay was £1.79 and had adjustable flash rate.
TrickyMicky:
The flasher unit has 3 terminals Ted, same as the original one which I have replaced. Just used the existing wires and connectors, 'Plug and Play' as they say nowadays. If I can manage this computer technology I will try and add a couple of pics. Just as an aside, I have no connection (sic) with the supplying company Classic Car LEDs, but must sing their praises. Having ordered the wrong bulbs for my 250 (my mistake), I ordered the correct ones mid afternoon yesterday, and they landed on my doormat at 09.00 hrs this morning. I just love it when a plan comes together!!
