Diy: Led turn indicator (hazard switch) mod tutorial

[RC200]

Tried to get my hazard switch apart, unfortunately it appears to be designed in such a manner that the circuit board is captive once it is assembled (6 pins are soldered on that hold it permanently in place, thanks to the design of the housing). I can't get at the circuit board itself without entirely disassembling the switch, so I'm pretty much dead in the water.

If I'm feeling destructive later I might attempt to desolder the pins, but as I don't have much experience desoldering anything, I probably won't bother. Looks like I'm falling back on hacking up the wiring harness to wire in a standalone relay.

Post pics.


In Europe, we have position lights and turn signals. I wanted to mean the turn signals only flash there, so you can downsize the resistors in term of wattage.
If signals are assumed to be always on, take margin regarding the wattage according to the heat dissipated in warm weather.

This led tutorial is a decade ago. Is there any new tutorial like 2019?

Lol, indeed not, the info are still valid.

Does anyone have the photos of this thread saved? I’m trying to do this mod as well since I have swapped all signal and brake lights to led so my lights only flash when I turn on the hazard switch. During normal use I get solid light and a dry buzzing from my hazard switch. If I replace either a front or rear LED with a regular incandescent bulb it flashes quickly but not quite hyper flash. I actually like the slightly faster than stock flash, js.

Bringing it back again.
I'm with your Malkierie504. Anyone have the pictures still?
