What the buzz? LEDs turn, tail, and run

July 3, 2007 by Rob.

Changing out the incandescent turn signal and tail lights was one of the easiest changes I had to make for the RAVolt. The new bulbs are a drop in replacement for the original bulbs and look the same externally. I had to make sure that I bought the right color match. Red LEDs for the red filter, etc.

Unfortunately, changing the bulbs made my turn signal timing relay (the flasher) angry: it now buzzes like a loud wind-up toy whenever I use the turn signal.

It’s pretty hard to tell the difference between the lights (unless you look at the drain on the battery).
