Paul Oggelsby Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 So far I've just replaced the two front headlamps and removed the old rear lights (not yet installed new rears) and the front indicators and running fast. Hopefully once I've finished the new rears that will sort the problem, if not I'll get the relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted January 2, 2022 Leadership Team Share Posted January 2, 2022 Removing one lamp in the circuit would cause the indicators to flash at twice the speed with a traditional relay, before cars had modern high tech electrical systems the fast flashing indicator was the way you knew an indicator bulb had failed.My understanding is that the Caterham rear light conversion is designed to balance the load on the relay so that it works fine without the need for a digital relay.Stu.

Paul Oggelsby Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Awesome, I'll report back once they send me the missing bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphillracer Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Its a 2017 310R. When I purchased in August 2021 it had just had JAL LED headlights and LED front indicators fitted and the indicators were running slowly/ intermittent. Since then the car has not been used, just a premier power engine upgrade then fitted the rear LED light kit from CC in the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 So it's the JAL stuff that's upsetting the relay? The CC lights shouldn't affect the indicators, CC have made it very clear that it's just P'n'P, no different relays needed, no effect on other lights.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted January 2, 2022 Leadership Team Share Posted January 2, 2022 The JAL rear lights need an electronic relay, I had them fitted before progressing to the new Caterham units. It's highly likely that the JAL front indicators also require an electronic relay.Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphillracer Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thanks to all and ScottR400D - LED indicators are now working - removed the indicator relay, states on it for LED lights BUT looks cheap copy type, tags are very loose, firmly placed back in holder and presto....... all working. Will change to a better quality relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
