Question for the electrical wizards.

Hey guys I just installed some small led cateye rear turn signals on my 05ss750 and they look great but now my blinkers are flashing faster. It's not warp speed or anything but definetly faster than the stack flash. Should I worry about this, it doesnt really bother me but I dont want to damage anything. The only thing I can think of is the led is pulling less current therefore getting more juice than it needs so is there a flasher relay i can replace to bring it back to normal speed or just not worry about it. I'll put a pic of it in my garage. Thanks

You don't have to worry about it if it doesn't bother you. It won't cause any problems. But if you want to correct it you'll need to get a load equalizer for the LED's (they do draw less so that's why the blink rate is faster). I'm sure one of the electrical guru's will chime in on a cheaper way to do it. I know there was some discussion on this on the forum before it crashed in regards to installing resistors parallel or in series as a cheap alternative to buying a load equalizer.

Yea what Glenn siad. If it doesn't bother you don't worry about it. :happy:

For myself, I prefer a faster flash rate. I feel like it is more
attention getting-always a good thing for us!!

I'll just leave it the way it is. Thanks for the replys.

The reason for the fast fhlashing is due to the fact that LED consumes less amperage than your standard bulbs. You can led them be or install an equalizer, you will not hurt anything.
