Unique,

Here's the next chapter in the continuing stooory of the LEDs and flashers...

I put brand "A" LEDs in the front. No joy with either flasher - nothing happened. No lights, no flashing, no dash light.

Brand "B" gave parking lights or flashers with the LED flasher. If the parking lights are on, no flashing. If the parking lights were off, they flashed fine.

Both brands (A&B) are ??? from China I presume, but obviously have differing electrical characteristics, probably with respect to grounding.

I noticed that if I left the flasher on, putting the incandescent bulb partly into the socket gave a tic-toc at the flasher but no illumination, saying to me there's probably a difference in the way all three sets of bulbs are internally grounded. This didn't happen with the LEDs.

BTW, the car has no 4-way flasher capability as far as I could see. No button and no (obvious) 2nd flasher.

Fascinating...
