Mavic82 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The wipac unit is what I use, I understand it is intended for land rovers and for trailers that have regular bulbs. The adjuster is for correcting the flash speed on the trailer.certainly has no effect on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyH Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks both, you've both referenced the same unit from the same seller, which is a good sign. Should be here today or tomorrow, post allowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonyH Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Fitted, working, hurrah! Fingers crossed it keeps doing exactly that...As above, the adjuster has no effect on the car's indicators' flash rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_7 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Well this thread has inspired me to purchase one of these Wipac relays. This should now allow me to use my LED rear indicators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavic82 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Good luck Grant, it is a slippery slope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_7 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Well the relay arrived on Friday however I'm just back from a weekend away. Anyway Wife is doing some chores so I popped out to the garage, fitted my LED indicators and checked them with the old relay. Sure enough the blinker speed is much higher, so popped out the old relay and the new one in.Voila! It works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_7 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Further to this I've now ordered some LED front indicators (I already have LED side repeators). So now I'll have the LED whole hog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyH Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Happy to report the Wipac flasher is still working after nearly 200 miles (woo...) so it's already out-performed the previous eBay special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_7 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Glad to hear it I've now fitted front LED indicators, so I'm indicating in an LED fashion all round now (also my side lights, rear lights, brake lights and number plate lamps are all LED too). I've attached a little vid showing the LED front indicators compared with the standard filament items: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant_7 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 No idea. However they both work, so I'm not too bothered to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedK Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Can anyone tell me if using aftermarket bulbs has any effect on the IVA inspection? I've been following the discussion on improving lights, and it makes sense to do this during the initial build, if possible.ThanksNed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyH Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Some LEDs are not E-marked, so I'd guess that if you have a picky inspector who took the lenses off, they might complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpa Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Looks like the 581 is amber and the 382 is white (as it can be used for stop/reverse)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
