USA Import - easy switch to amber rear indicator fix
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2017 3:24 pm
just thought I'd share this little easy fix for converting US Spec rear lights to UK Spec while keeping the great looking all red rear lenses.
Perhaps someone clever can explain why/how this works!
While preparing my 912 for it's first MOT I tackled the problem of switching to amber rear indicators.
It turns out that even if you fit an amber bulb behind the red lens, it still shows as red. However...
If you put an amber LED bulb behind a red lens it shows as amber???
Now the stock indicator flasher relay will not like the LED bulbs so to overcome this problem, an electronic indicator/flasher relay, in this case a CF14 JL-02 flasher for LED relay did the trick.
It also has an OE clicking sound.
