im planning on making some led turn signals for my T/A and was wondering if i would need a special flasher for it.

 

Yes you'll need an electronic flasher. Stock one won't flash.

 

i think it is called an EL-15 if I remember right.... i had to get them for my LED's. do a search and u can see the write up I did

 

It's an el-12 flasher that you'll need. It's an electronic flasher, not thermal like the stock ones. LEDs won't flash with the thermal ones. You can get these at autozone. Made by Tridon, I believe.

 

that sounds right...

 

i would have to wire it up to just the fronts since the backs are stock right?
also where do i get the project board? (the ones that the led's attach to) i havent been able to find it at any radioshacks

 

besthongkong is where i bought mine. I just finished some led turn signals. i used amber superflux inside the smoked lenses. ill to post some pics.

Hmm...I guess the EL-12 isn't the way to go. I'm sorry if you bought one already because of what I posted. Thanks for the link blackodium!

 

here is the link to my write up... its for a camaro, but im sure u will get an idea if you want to do it....

and latin, that is the right part, i looked at mine today and it is an el-12.... and mine work great

 

alright so NOT the el-12?

 

I was always under the impression that the EL-12 is the "go-to" flasher for LED applications. There seems to be some conflicting results because each set of LEDs you go with are different. My suggestion would be to just try it out. They're cheap so it's not really a huge loss if it doesn't work. If that doesn't work, there are no load flashers which should do the trick.

alright and i just replace the one under the dash with it and my tails will still work right?

 

Yeah. There's a flasher for your hazards too though. I would wait till someone else chimes in though because I have yet to do this. It's been on my list for a while, but I was just going to replace all lights with LEDs and plug in the EL-12 for the turn signals and hazards.

 

so do you know there to get hte led mounting board? i cant find any larger than i credit card and i need one big enough for the rear filler, front plate and front turn signals

 

I just replaced all the bulbs (front & back) with led bulbs from a company called superbrightleds.com, and both flashers with electronic. Everything worked.. even the DRL still work although I expected they wouldn't!

It's a good idea to get led bulbs that shine sideways as well as forwards, (some don't, or not much) because otherwise all the lamp area isn't lit fully with leds.

im gonna use these bulbs

and make the turn signals myself so i still need a few supplies

you can check out my turn signal i did there. unfrtunately its for my 95 but youll get the idea. im using a PWM so that theyll be dim with the running lights and get brighter when the signal flashes.

 

I just have the led bulbs in mine and use the EL-12 flasher
