My experience is on 900RR and is limited to the job I've photographed for you. That was the cheapest possible LED relay on eBay.

But I'm told reliably that those two pin relays do work in 3 pin applications. Normal relays shunt the waste power to earth but these new ones just don't waste energy in the same way.

Think about this - there may only be two pins in that plug but its a 3 pin plug. Why do that if it doesn't fit a 3 pin application? There are 2 pin connectors too.

So I'm talking rubbish and you've just contradicted yourself by saying what I said originally :roll:

You really are a prat aren't you? :roll:
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
