Sci79 - I'm so curious as to why you have Matt Berry dressed as a doctor as your profile pic. I'm such a big fan of Toast and Shadows. Other than that, I have nothing to add to this thread. Cheers.

So that is a character he portrayed named Dr. Rick Sanchez on a show called Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and it is brilliant and I recommend seeing it. Also he did a music video for it called one track lover but do watch the show first. Its on prime video:

The "DEWHEL 12V 0.02A-10A 2-Pin CF-12 Electronic LED Flasher Relay Fix for Turn Signal Light Fast Hyper Flash" works for both the hazards and turn signals. But it's not audible. I wish it was.

The "2-Pin Electric Flasher Relay, VOFONO 12V Heavy Duty 2 Pin Compatible Automobile Motorcycle Bike Scooter Fix Turn Signal Bulbs Fast Hyper Flash, Two Prong Round" does not work.


Does NOT work


I may keep searching for an audible relay that works.

Your does not work will work with at least 2 1157's in circuit. Worked great in the 78, it also worked great with the trailer towing. But I never tried trailer and led in combination. The led bulbs I tried at the time were dimmer than an 1157 bulb in use. Was bulbs not panels.

I plan to use two, but I initially only bought one to test it. I attached the grounding wire to the screw to the left of the steering column shroud. Seems to work fine.

Installed mine tonight can confirm all lights working now. Blinkers and hazards with full Leds

EDIT: My right front was not working, possibly a bad bulb as it worked with a reg bulb but all others were working with the non working LED installed so I may just need to order a new one.

I bought the "iBrightstar Newest 9-30V Super Bright Low Power" LEDs for my brake lights (Brilliant Red), reverse tail lights (White), and front parking lights (Amber Yellow). For the running lights, I used "Phinlion 194" bulbs - Red for rear side and Amber Yellow for front side. All from Amazon.

I can't speak for longevity, but they seemed like quality bulbs and pretty bright.

Good luck!

Have you tried using some load resistors? Pretty common to have blinker issues when switching to LEDs, unless you install load resistors. Usually it just causes hyper flashing, rather than no flashing at all, but not having them could still be the problem. Worth trying at least.

Mine was wedged up under the dash near the headlight switch area makes it easier if you have the blinker going to find it
