Ok I've installed new led bulbs in my prelude in the reverse light and the reverse indicators and when the hazards are on it indicates fine but left or right and it flashes like crazy.
What do I do to return normality to the indicator speed?
Thanks in advance.

LED bulbs don't have the same resistance as normal bulbs, so the flasher relay flashes at double speed.

You need these:

Is there a Honda one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Led-Multi-Pin ... 3cc747d9a3

Would be a decent way out!

The link I gave is for a pair, you need one per side.

Simply wire between the indicator wire and ground, job done.

Would I need 50 watt resistors or 100 watt? Cheers
