LED bulbs with hazard warning kit

[DanHookey]

Hi all,

I've recently fitted the club hazard light kit to my Vitesse. All was working well.

I've now swapped over to LED indicator bulbs and replaced the flasher relay with an LED compatible one as well as replacing the flasher relay in the hazard kit.

Whilst the indicators work well, when I pull out the hazard switch the inline fuse (to the hazard switch) blows. 

Do I need to replace the small bulb in the hazard switch do you think? or fit a resistor somewhere to reduce current?

 

Many thanks all

I dont know but the current for LED is very much reduced from filament bulbs so theres no reduction thats sensible

sounds more like a wiring fault or a duff LED thats popping the fuse the switch warning lamp is hardly a culprit

Suggest you put it back to when it was working & check it still does?
