Hi guys, I made own led strip to front indicator light, but flashing is fast. I know, when I have damage bulb, then flashing fast. So how fix it for normal speed flashing with led strip? When I turn sometimes left more, then flashing is normal speed,but not always. Sometimes fast or slow. Please help me.

Tha car electrics does not know you put leds.It acts like you have blown a bulb.It doesn't see the resistance that will with normal bulb.You have to make the resistance it need to work properly.Look on the internet. There's dosen of clips. ;)

Had this on my bike when I replaced all the indicators for LED, all blinked super fast. Had to change the flasher module/relay thing for an LED specific one which sorted it, only a few quid on ebay for that one.

Other option is to put resistors in line with the indicators, but to me that's just generates needless heat. You can find them on pretty much any site that sells LED indicators, one per indicator I believe

The flasher unit replacement sounds much cleaner but you should replace all indicators with led for it to be worth it. Otherwise you're stuck with resistors. I find it hilarious in some of the trucks I drive that don't understand led indicators on trailers, they keep trying to tell you that the indicator is faulty lol.
I'd like to see your led mod for possible inspiration
