【KITACO】Unbreakable Lens Mini-Blinker Set Review
Rectification Diode changed (Repost)
20240312Review
Initially, the selection of Diode was based on the wisdom of our predecessors (1N4148 100V200mA) But it broke, so I replaced it with an Emon one. I was worried because I needed 700mA for the NORMAL bulb and 900mA for the replaced bulb, but it was still no good. It was easy to work with. The diode itself is large and sturdy even with a weaker one.
↓ The following Review is a Diode change from the last one I posted.
good point
It seems to be small and unbreakable.
Maintenance is also easy, since the corresponding Valve can be purchased at Home center. (W number confirmation required)
A bad point
Single Bulb, so depending on the year, position modification may be required.
Bullet Terminal has Female and Male, so Large Mortgage Wiring needs to be processed.
Blinker relay in md44 must be replaced

The included Valve is 12v8w10t and a little dark, so I changed it to 12v10w13t. The Valve generates a lot of heat, so I think you should inspect it carefully.
Front Blinker's Connector is "Made in USA" and I couldn't get it from Wiring.com.
For position processing, a rectifying diode is inserted in the position line and the turn signal line to prevent reverse current flow. If this is not done, the Indicator will remain on all the time.
I bought all the connectors for the rear blinker from Wiring.com. plus side connectors are in KITACO's ConvenienceParts, but minus side is not available.
The Rear bracket is a Fender Eliminator Kit from DRC, and the Front bracket is an appropriate Bracket that I found at Home center. I was surprised to find that it hooked up EXACTLY.
Blinker relay must be replaced. rally's blinker relay is for LED, but there is information that DRC's LEDFlasher is high flasher, so I thought I could use unbreakable lens with low w number, but it was not possible. I bought a used OEMRelay for md38 and it is a high flasher. It is better to buy ICRelay.
Posh's Blinker relay has a waterproof body, but the connector is exposed and needs to be treated. I wrapped it with tape from Vinyl housefor Repair.

cracked glass
I purchased the Racer to make it a public road Spec.
We were looking for something not too expensive, but not too fragile and with good performance for off-road use.
I bought this one because Lens is resistant to cracking, and it looks pretty good.
The size is small so as not to spoil the silhouette of the car body, and above all, at this low price, even if the Lens is broken, there will be no damage.

No-frills, standard Blinker
Aside from being unbreakable, this is the strongest Blinker with a rustic design that doesn't look bad.
Recommended for those who do not need the extra design just because it is an outside Blinker.
Not only the lens but also the blinker body is rather flexible, so it is unharmed even if it is slightly shaken.

Moderately Large
Satisfied with the Large size!
However, because of the rubber construction, if it is tightened too much, the blinker will start to point outward.

Fits off-road vehicles without any discomfort.
The back base part seems to be a mixture of rubber and resin.
It is flexible and really doesn't seem to crack.
