LED conversion 1992 model

[Arnoud]

HI All,

I am looking into converting everything to LED.
On my 1992 Max 1200 model I have no hazards lights which I think could be handy.
Has anybody of you made this conversion and how?
Also if it is not to much to ask, could I get part numbers and a schematic.
Much appreciated thanks.

Two areas you need to consider:

1. Indicators. If you want to retain the auto cancel function and OE indicator relay you will need to add ballast resistors to the indicators. Alternatively you can fit a solid state indicator relay but will loose the self cancelling function. You will also need to add diodes and a ballast resistor to the indicator warning light.
2. You will also need to add a resistor the the low fuel level indicator lamp.

The resistors for the indicator and low fuel warning lights are required so the relevant circuits see the same load as if a bulb was still there.
I can't recall the exact value but suggest a 4.7 ohm 7w as a starting place.

I just added the resistors in line to the led lights and mine is working fine.
