Slower two prong LED flasher?
Slower two prong LED flasher? I'm trying to slow down the hyper flash from my sequential tail lights. I tried a few different brands from Amazon but they're all still too fast.
Web electric products who makes the sequential kit said their unit does not control the flash speed, it's run by the flasher. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I attached a couple of links so you can see.

Just search Amazon for "adjustable flasher for led turn signal" (without the quotes... Amazon's search engine is poorly designed and doesn't like quotes). Among the results are a couple for under $10 which have a screw adjustment for between about 1 flash per second and 3 flashes per second.
Here's how I customized my flasher for adjusting speed. (I wanted more control over what the market offered and was probably being a little cheap, also. It worked perfectly for over 10 years while I had the car.) https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...l#post14394653
The broader thread is an extensive one on sequential flashers.

I tried a few cheap ones from Amazon, I was told this one works well but not for me.

My buddy can sodder the diode but I would buy the keep it clean if it defiantly will work. How is it different?

[QUOTE=Carguy8888;20523024] I changed the video on YouTube. You should be able to see it now. Thanks for letting me know. No one ever told me there was an issue with it! If you can't play it, please let me know.
The Amazon flasher will definitely work. The one I made is identical in operation. The difference is that, since mine is homemade, I had a little more control in the speed. The potentiometer is a variable resistor and I put that inline with a static resistor. The two in combination gave me the resistance I wanted for the flash speed I wanted. I'm not sure what the speed the Keep It Clean unit will give you, but if you don't like it, you would have to make your own as I did. Changing the static resistor out for different values puts the unit in different brackets of speed.

Is there a certain flash rate or number i'm looking for to try and get the slower flash rate?

If I remember correctly, the 10 ohm resistor is what people used back in the day to slow down the flasher. I just added a 0-10 ohm variable resistor on top of that to give a little more nudge. There's no "number". It's just turn the dial and see what you like. I expect that the off-the shelf variable flasher is similar to the one I made.
