I couldn't tell you what voltage I see on the lead for the tell tale light cos my multimeter has gone intermittent after too many winters in a damp shed.
Flasher relay is three-wire.

So then I checked my modified Dommie (Honda) which is fitted with monster indicators bearing LED bulbs, an aftermarket, LED-specific flasher unit (also 3-wire) and a Koso dash unit.
Those flash out of phase with the warning light.

So then I checked my car (I weakened and bought one last winter).
Bog standard Citroen C1 (so just half a car, really).
I was expecting out of phase but they flash in phase with the warning light.

Good point about the heat in the 2.3W replacement bulbs ... I'll check.
Then again, its an intermittent flash rather than a continuous illumination so maybe the odds are in my favour as the same bulbholders hold continuously lit warning lights for lights on, main beam etc.
