I bought an early trike (to be delivered this week) it is fitted with 'trailer type' rear lights and looks naff.
I am looking at some chinese all in one park, brake, turn, side, and reverse led's for it, in the demo they connect them to a constant power source and the the indicators go through a wave motion, will this still be the case when connected to the trikes 'old' electrics?
The other thing is it is registered as built in '99 and a 1.2lt imported in 2013, would this be a 1.2lt ?

Re: FLASH TRIKE
re indicators - unlikely as 'std. old' electrics usually have a switched 12v through lamp to earth also don't normally like playing with LED lights. As regards 1.2 - what engine is it?

Re: FLASH TRIKE
Okey dokey, I am unsure if the engine is really a 1.2 or changed at some point, any way of telling the difference between them?

Re: FLASH TRIKE
Seeing as we've absolutely no idea what engine it is - how can we advise?

Re: FLASH TRIKE
I know next to nothing about these engines but isn't it possible to look up the engine number somewhere?
As for the indicators, if you really like those led rears then get them and if they don't work just get an led flasher unit and led bulbs for the front indicators (and side repeaters if you've got them).
