What happens when you add resistors to a relay?
What happens when you add resistors to a relay?
Install one of these resistors into the circuit near your LED signal and you will increase the amount of current the OEM relay sees when the LED signal lights up (solution number 1). LED signal current + resistor current = incandescent bulb current.
Can a TST Flasher relay be replaced with an led?
Because of this and often times difficult installation, we highly recommend going with an LED Flasher Relay. Which brings us to solution number 2: replacing the OEM relay with one that flashes correctly even with LEDs installed. Well, not much to say here other than that’s exactly what the lineup of TST Industries Flasher Relays do!
Why do I need to install load resistors for turn signal lights?
Why do I need to install load resistors for the LED turn signal lights? If you don’t install the LED turn signal bulbs with load resistors (also called equalizers), you will experience the hyper flash issue. Not only is this extremely ugly, but it might attract the police thinking your bulb is burnt out. What a hassle! Loading…
Are there any resistors in an LED flasher?
*1:30 note: Resistors are sold separately and not automatically included with LED products. So you’ve been shopping for LED turn signals or an integrated tail light and have noticed references to an “LED Flasher Relay” and “Resistors”.

How to install LED flasher relays on bikes?
And to make these even easier, we try to produce LED Flasher Relay installation videos for almost all of the bikes that come into our shop, which you can find on our YouTube channel.
