[W126 Coupe] Lights Off topic!

[Iain Gunn]

Eddie, you are right on with the LEDS not having enough resistance, and your response to correct is right one the button.
Also, are you going to put a deceleration switch in with the LEDS? These new systems, actually not so new, been out for a couple of years, just not here, flash faster the higher the deceleration rate, some also get brighter. 
                                                                                            Iain

  If you are talking about the corner lights, it's because they have 2 circuits, you might be on the wrong circuit?  Alternatively, the power draw isn't enough to trigger the relays, try putting resistors in-line?



  Not sure if this answers your question.



  I'm interested in putting in the LED strobe type brake lights, just being introduced on the new S's and CL's and firetrucks.

  This is an off topic question about LED lights!  I have two MR11 bulbs (LEDS) and want them used in a flasher mode.  There were two MR11 non-LED's in there previous.  What type of flasher do I need to make them work?  When installed the LED's will light but not flash.  If I remember right I think Ian was a bit of a light man!  

  Thanks 

  Bill P.
