Bit of a funny question, My little van is going to use semaphore indicators, these have flashing festoon bulbs, that all works well, controlled by the original twist knob on the dash, In front of me there are 2 illuminated arrows designating left n right, I would like these to flash, but there is no flasher unit in the car............... so.... I'm looking for small bayonet instrument bulb sized FLASHING LEDS, I'm not going to hold my breath.

You're going to need a flasher relay and some resistors to make them flash.

Easiest way would be to make up your own with flashing LEDs in the required colour and a relevant bulb base. I don’t think it’ll be something you’ll find off the shelf but a DIY version shouldn’t be too hard to knock up. |

I have just bought 2 12v flashing LEDs and when they arrive I endeavour to mount then inside my bulb holders  |

When you install them don't forget that LED's are polarity conscious and if they don't have an internal resistor they will require an external load resistor on each one.

They wont as they are self flashing pre-resist installed in a constant feed circuit. It’s a neat idea as a solid light on a non-cancelling circuit is easy to miss. |
