I've put in LED bulbs in the front and rear indicators (not the side markers yet), and the flash is too rapid (as if I had a bulb out). I'm a bit dense on relays - can I swap this out to get a slow flash, or do I need to add load resistors to each bulb?

I was hoping for something more like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electronic-LED-Flasher-R...

Most relays seem to go B-L-E, whereas that one goes E-L-B, which I assume matters!

Few bent paper clips will convert those just fine hehe
nono ordered a gl02 E-L-B jobber, hopefully that will do the trick...be the middle of next week before I know though. Worth it, the car looks better de-tangoed.

Christmas came early - cf13 gl-02 relay fitted, and can confirm it works...easy fix, no butchering of the loom required smile
