Electrical blinker Led Vs. Conventional bulb
Ok member, I've just went with led blinkers, taken out my old conventional bulb, now the blinker blinks a lot faster? I heard that you must add a resistor? Does anyone familiar with this? How many ohm of resisitor?
yes you will need a resistor I believe it needs to be 6 ohms? could be wrong.
honestly the faster blinking seems to be more attention getting than a slow blink. so I would consider just running a fast blinking turn signal

Yeah the faster blinking is because the leds use less wattage and the relay thinks there is a bulb out. You can ether add wattage resistors or replace the relay that is led ready.
I personally changed out my relay.

I installed a SuperbrightLED relay in mine. For $9 it was fairly easy. Scroll down the page to the motorcycle applications. I have the LF1-S-FLAT. It fit my OEM connector perfectly.
Thanks for all feed back...problem is my front blinkers is still using the old bulb. My taillight, I replace with LED + intergrated signal....believe the relay is for both front an back? Does this mean I need to go with led blinkers too for the front?
With the SuperbrightLED relay you can have a combination of both regular bulbs and LED. I have LEDs for the rear signals and regular bulbs on the front and they all blink just fine.
Nice...it's for my 94' cbr900 ....I'll go with the relay ...
