Superbright LEDS has them too if not locally available. You can upgrade your blinkers to LED if you have the electronic flasher...

Thanks for the confirmation Bill.

You don't have to worry about the Wattage on the Tridon flashers.  Being solid state they don't have to match the Wattage of the bulbs.

Tridon terminals are...
X = power in, L = Load/Lights, P = Indicator lamp.

Thanks Doug!  Do I need to look for the proper wattage (for load) for these?  I think the 9L was 4 x 21W + (5W) - but maybe it does not make a difference here with the solid state relays now.  Sometimes if the load is different you get real slow flashing on the standard bulbs in our Minis.

I have a dodgy original Lucas9FL 12V 12A hazard relay (2 prong) and would like to source a newer one that is updated/solid state.  Any advice on what to look for at my nearest Napa or Autozone, etc?
