Led rear indicators?

I'm definitely missing something

I fitted some rear led indicators and it's flashing way too quickly and I have a Lampf warning.

I'm guessing I need some kind of electrical gizmo but does anybody know what it is and where in the circuit I need to fit it

You're missing a resistor to reduce the current for the lower draw LED's.
You can get them just about anywhere:

Shouldn't the CAN-bus adjust automatically?

I had no issues when I installed mine. I used the Euro OEM ones on my GS and aftermarket ones on my S. Both were fine. Make sure your connections are good.

The aftermarket rear LED's I used needed a resistor-Canbus didn't impact it-still flashed too quickly. The first pair I bought from Wunderlich for the R12S also came with resistors.

I think these winkers came from a Honda. What concerns me is the Lampf warning. I was wondering if resistors or a replacement LED relay would do the trick?

It should. Everyone said it would. It didn't. Same symptoms as you. As I recall, I fixed it with a 400 ohm resistor across the leads
