Flasher relay for LED indicators

[Cremulator]

So I have replaced my front (corner) indicator bulbs and my bull bar indicators/parkers with LEDs and have also got my dummy tail lights wired up with LED bulbs (indicators, tail/brake light and reverse lights).
The factory bumper lights are still operating with incandescent bulbs.
Since adding the bull bar indicators, when indicating right they would flash at double speed. Left was fine and hazards fine too.

I bought a Tridon flasher relay today (non voltage sensitive version) and hooked it up to the correct positive, load and earth contacts.

Red to positive (+), green to load (L) and black to earth (P).


It worked, flashing at the correct speed, but I saw it glowing a little and it released a small amount of smoke.
Turning it off and disconnecting it, I saw that a small resistor looked like it had burnt.

I reconnected it and tested it again. It still worked and flashed at the correct speed, but did not glow or smoke - which is great, that's what I was really expecting the first time!

So my question is, has anyone else used one of these relays? Or a different kind?
I saw that Narva also make one.


I have reinstalled the factory flasher relay for the time being as I'm not 100% confident with the Tridon one after seeing it smoke.
Thanks.
