Beehive LED rear lights on B6200

[PenderBen]

Hi all.
Thought I'd share this.
My B6200 came to me missing a tail light lens and the other lens falling off.
I'm not sure I will ever use my lights, but I wanted to fix it anyway. I decided to look for some LED replacements, why not, and came across these '3'' beehive' ones on eBay and ordered a set. Granted of course these are not top quality, but they don't seem half bad, finish quality is decent and they function properly.
They took very mild modifying to fit using the factory light mounting holes, and I had to extend their leads, add plugs, etc, but all easy enough.
They are wired with two circuits, so I was able to wire one set to be the tail light (outside ring of LEDs), and the other (inner four LEDs) as the hazards.
The tail lights work as they should, but the hazards do not, in theory they will and it is not a fault of the lights, I suspect a fault under the dash.

They fit about perfectly, time will tell on the quality, but for about $16 I'm not disappointed.

I don't have pics of them on, sorry.

Often times LED's don't put enough load on the flasher to make it work. If the lights come on, but won't flash, that's probably why.

Do a search for "flasher relay led lights"

This is the flasher I used:

You have the bi-metal flasher unit.
It heats up from current flow and clicks off.
Like Milo said.
That is why when one lamp burns out on a car they do not flash telling you to check your lights.

The led does not have the load to make them work.
Look for a flasher used for a trailer addon. These are electronic.
Somthing like this.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll look into it more.
The flasher didn't work on the lone incandescent either, and the LEDs don't light up at all.
I'm not sure the relay is even still there, as I found an unplugged/unused plug under the dash, need to confirm the wire colors.
Like I said, probably never use them, but it's nice to have things work right.

Make sure at full up of 3pt your implements won't hit the Beehive cone and break them.

Other than the lack of flashers they fit and work great, no clearance problems, they don't stick out much more than the stock lenses.
