I have the stock blinker relay and a 6x blinker relay. I want to wire it with a switch between the two relays so that I can switch back to stock speed if I find myself getting tailed. Has anyone done this?

If you replace your blinkers with LED bulbs you will get the same effect (fast flashing). Persionally I think it looks better blinking at the normal rate. How much did your 6x blinker cost you?

That's the reason that I got rid of my LED blinker bulbs. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

They plug in to your existing relay plug and they are rated for 0.02 - 10A so they blink at a normal rate when using LED bulbs. They are about $25 NZD or $18 USD. |

I think it was about 16 dollars. The bottom line is that I like it for my car and I dont get condecending about the mods on other peoples cars and would appreciate the same treatment. I do want to wire it so that I can toggle between the two speeds, I understand that people arent used to seeing a blinker flashing this fast and I dont intend to keep it in 6x speed in normal driving, but if Im with friends out at night I would like the option to switch speeds for my own personal pleasure.
The blinker is the same type as the stock one to be best of my knowledge except for the speed. Its made to replace the existing relay. And if you dont like it Ill remember not to signal before I sideswipe you. j/k I love all you haters. |
