i am getting ready to fit my morrete headlights and i am going to put my indicators into my fog lights. the thing is it will only be a small sidelight style bulb (orange led's), will this make my idicators flash quickly? if so how do i put it right?
cheers in advance chris

depends how differnt the resistance is in the new bulbs compared to the old ones.
Just have to give it a try I guess cant see it been too much of a difference to cause a problem

well i wasnt sure about it because the normal corsa ones are a pritty big bulb and led's hardly use any power at all do they.

yes, they will flash quickly. cheap fix is to leave the original bulbs plugged in but tucked away somewhere, failing that add resistors in line with the LEDs to slow down the flash frequency

measure resiastance of original bulb and the new led's. Led resistance - LED resistance = reistance u need
