DA WORK! Blinking LED Side Markers

[Cougar]

Thanks to Bill aka Wanna he figured out and helped me set up the relay

so that the side markers will also blink/flash , they also work with the

emergancy as well. the wires hanging were for my test before I button

it up right. enjoy.

That's NICE. You gonna do a how to with this mod ?

[Cougar]

:scratchchin:Ummm, Well I guess I could... now there is a how to on the LED light

install , but it is not in the tech section.. not sure if Don wants to add

it or not.. here is that link..

the 2nd part would be the RELAYS for them (2) for each light.

here is another one after I had it more perfected in the dark.

Sorry for the movment on the video, had my laft and on the cam

and the right hand on the key and turn signal switch .

Man I hate relays :rotf:I have four under the fairing now. what

a wire jungle in there now.

[Carbon_One]

That's a nice set up Cougar. So you isolated the turn signal circuit with a relay which is activated by the four way flasher switch? Looks great anyhow so I just may borrow your idea.

Yeah Larry, it also works with the left/right blinkers as well.. BUT hold off a little

as I am trying to make them blink opposite. LOL front and sides. still playing with it

a bit more. after I am done I will try and write down all the connections for you.

Keep in mind that this install will take (2) Relays.

Heck you ARE the RELAY MASTER tho.

Jeff

[Cougar]

got the opposing blink now. now just to get the top lit,

will get it figured out tho I hope.

[Cougar]

I have decided to just stay with them blinking at the same time. way

to much trouble and I think I like it better this way anyway .. makes me kinda dizzy

watching them :puzzled:Opposed

All DONE!

Nice Jeff.

 

Looking forward to any info on the wiring you've done for this. I changed out the relectors on the radiator guards and side bags for LED's on my '84 and the blinking set up would be a nice touch.

Don't forget to list the color codes!!

[Cougar]

ALL WHITE mabey a tad of blue and a black in there.

[Snaggletooth]

Ain't that a hoot! Same coding I used when I rewired the firewall on my first car after the carb fire.

 

I bought the biggest spool of white wire at the parts store had and had at it.

 

God help the person that bought that car.

To make them blink opposite, we called it wig wag on our squad cars. Here is a link, a lot of companies make these but its just one device.

This would work cheaper and easier circuit, it's a EL13A flasher, you have power and 2 alternating loads, 1 flasher http://www.ledlight.com/electronic-led-flasher-el113a1.aspx

Kevin will this one make the wig wag for both sides? I am also thinking that I am liking it better blinking at the same time :shock3:LOL http://www.swps.com/whelheadflas.html

Thanks,

Jeff

Any wig-wag will throw the current left, right, left ... once you give it power it just moves the power back and forth

[Cougar]

Thanks!

You would need 2 el13a's if you went that route. Make a Plug the power (x) lug from the switch, you could unplug the flasher and take it here, for each direction you would need a el13a ( L&R ), Each has one (X) and two (L) load lugs , plug the regular turn signal into one load lug and your side led's into the other load lug.

 

It would also be cool from behind if you had another turn signal or arrow on the bags at the same height and they alternated flash, kind of like the lights on a car or truck mirror.
