flush mounted signals

**lukeeed** · 10-02-2010, 02:07 PM

hey all, just a lil help

i wanna get some flush mounted indicators for my 06 r6 but ive been lookn around on the net n have seen a few mentions of the need for resistors???

im only changing the front indicators and most of what ive seen on the net (to my knowledge) dont come with these yet they say its as simple as takin the old ones off n fitting the flush mounted ones on.

so do i need em or dont i??

also does anyone know of a good place to get some flush mount indicators??

cheers

You need resistors for LEDs.

do they usually come with the indicators when you buy them or do you have to get them seperately?

Don't know.

You'll have to buy them seperatly

some come with inbuilt reistors now.

I was able to change the relay was heaps cheaper and easier than Playing with resistors

you have to be real careful with the flush mounts, sometimes they dont fit the area you want them to go, the ones I got were the exact size of the front indicator holes so they were too small to fit over and too big to fit in the recess, had to mess around so much they got sent back

another way of increasing the "draw/load" is putting in an waterproof audio/speaker, so when signalling also a sound is emitted and you do not drive around with an indicator wrongly signalling.
Will not post pic as it upset the local yocals to much (carefactor Zero on my side of the fence)
