MtotheJ Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Right, so I have fitted an aftermarket exhaust and want to tidy up the rear end of my bike and put some new indicators on. I was a the show today and got royally confused by what I need if I want to fit LED indicators! Do I just need a resistor? Or do i need a relay? Or both? And how do i fit that to the indicators?

Guest Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 you only need one, find yours on the bike if its a 3 pin like this then its a one for one swap.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin the Bear Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Because led indicators have a different resistance to standard bulb indicators they flash at too fast a rate. This problem used to be solved by fitting an in series resistor. Nowadays they recommend fitting a different flasher relay. The relay is a direct swap and is bike specific. So you need the right one. It should be an easy swap over. Explained and examples here.http://www.toolparts.co.uk/acatalog/LED_Indicators.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
