Electronic flashers
....before you ask, yes I did post this 'elsewhere' a week ago and didn't get much in the way of any answers - I think it's too new a product for most folks to understand. But at least I waited to post here!!!!
I have LEDs for signal lights. The normal Buss 552/536 thermal flashers will not work for sure and I DO NOT want to use the 2 resistors from Watson's I have as they look like add-on clap trap so I ordered up some Grote brand 2 pin electronic flashers, p/n 44891 to operate these lights. With that said, does anyone have any experience/history with this type flashers in an aftermarket application? They have an external and separate ground which is not a problem, and is kinda interesting, but I guess needed to complete the electronic circuitry.
One thing I did find out is that some of these electronic flashers will not necessarily work with LEDs and some are electrically set up opposite the standard thermal flashers. There are also some "adapter kits" that I'm not sure are really necessary if you get the right flasher. There really isn't a lot of GOOD internet information available for these gadgets.Dave W
I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
