Hazard lights system for EK
Hazard lights system for EK
Hi has anyone fitted a hazard light control system for an EK I believe it has to be with its own flasher and separate control switch. Is there a kit?

Re: Hazard lights system for EK
I 'am going through the same thing at the moment but I 'am using a aftermarket wiring harness and I'am using LED lights so I 'am thinking of putting a buzzer in to make a noice when they are flashing This seamed to be the easiest that I have found Greg _EK283 may be able to set you straight about the extra flasher switch I don't know anything about that

This will make it easier to read just remember I 'am using LEDs and putting in a Buzzer and like I said earlyer Greg or somone else will have to sort out the extra flasher can ??

Yes I've done them,
You need a flasher can and a relay as well as a purpose built switch. I don't remember off the top of my head how its wired so will have to look for a diagram I've got sitting somewhere.

Hi Billy and Greg. The separate flasher can is important there needs to be some sort of relay control to stop both signals activating when the turn signals are operated. I have got that far so if Greg can follow up with the relay necessary we may be able to get it. It definitely has to have a separate flasher can Billy.

Billy ,my car has led turn signals and LED halo headlights with amber turn signals when they are used and the day light running lights go from white to amber. The lights give very good visibility and the traffic knows exactly what is happening. To make them work I had to put in an LED flasher and normal bulbs in the rear instead of resistors. It now works magnificently. I also have dual filament LED globes in the parking lights that flash amber when the turn signals are operated. They are white when the parking lights are on but amber if the turn signals are used.

Sorry for the delay,
So I have a dedicated flasher can into a 2 pole hazard switch ( this is required to separate the left and right circuits when not in use) then just tapped into the blinker wiring left and right side. Similar to Bill's diagram but uses its own flasher can, this come with my wiring fuse block.
Initially I thought there was a relay but that's not the case, the relay was for the start in gear eliminator.

Re: Hazard lights system for EK
Thanks Greg it makes sense now. I will try to find a 2 pole hazardous flasher switch and fit a electronic flasher on it as the LED lights wont work with a normal flasher can. I am pretty sure I can now get it to work.
Thanks Again
