Hi guys,

I changed all my globes (brakes, reverse, indicator) to Cree led last night. Everything was working like normal till I changed the front 2 indicator and it started blinking really fast.

I understand that it is due to the lower wattage of the LED that causes the car to think a globe is blown or wrong wattage. Hence the rapid blinking.

Anybody has a fix for this? Everything works fine. Just blinks fast.

Please do share.

Got them off eBay. Came from Hong Kong in 5 days. They work great only problem is the blinking.

It's the resistance change that throws regular flashers off. Some orange LEDs comes with resistors that you put in line (or can either add your own or change the relay) to add the 'load' to stop hyperflashing.

So I can purchase the relay that is shared above and replace the stock relay.

Ok I'm going to go with that. Cross fingers. All ok.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers!

Yeah. But they work pretty ok. Lol is so bright. It doesn't make a difference.

Also doesn't have heat. So can point anyway not worried of heat melting plastic. And it is bright enough. Much brighter than normal globes.

Yeah I know. I was kind of disappointed when I opened the reverse lights. But when I put it on and engaged the reverse. It was definitely much brighter than the originals. So I was happy again. Haha

Yep that relay should be fine.

Those projector style LEDs would be good for reverse, as you want the light projected outwards (to see). For the turn and brakes, I'd rather have something that fires sidewards/backwards so light is reflected off the housing rather than projected outwards (to be seen).

Something like this. Will have to figure out which ones will work best in the housings (Philips make a few different styles now).

But hey, that's just me.

Des, got some more shots of your light output? Looks pretty great.

Let me know what other angles you want me to take. I'll get them.

Currently with these reverse lights. It lights up the whole garage. Lol

FYI: You can get a flasher relay from super cheap or autobarn that is non load dependant and will work with any lights. I have all LED and one of these flashers. Just needed to make an adapter harness from the original plug as the flasher relay base isnt the same

Hi guys,

I am hoping someone can help me. 1993 Nissan r32 GTR both front indicators on with headlights. Indicators work as normal but as soon as the indicator self cancels both indicators come back on. Any ideas? Indicator stalk or headlight switch?

Cheers

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
