Gee anybody can help :lash:
I am now planing in replacing turn signal light by LED and lately on this forum I seen a post that included ways to make them blink to proper speed by adding resistance in the line it even had pictures grrrrr
Thanks
I have tried several, four, LED 1157 and 1156 bulbs and found them to be lacking in light output when compared to incandescent bulbs.
I was looking for brighter running lights to increase visibility at the rear which I realized was a problem when I followed my own 97' SE with my buddy riding it in front of me.
Having said that I put them to good use by adding two extra sockets to the rear saddle bag lights and adding those LED's. So now in each rear light I have two LED 1157 and one incandescent 1157 bulb for a total of three.
I have brighter running lights because of the LED's and the brake lights are brighter also.
If you really want LED's for turn signals, and can find ones bright enough. Use 1157 LED in the front running/turn lens and use a 100 watt 1156 bulb in the rear amber turn signal lens. These are sold a back-up light bulbs and easily found. That will give you the resistance you need to allow your turn flasher to work and give you brighter turn signal light to the rear. Or just leave the stock 1156 incandescent bulb in place in the rear.
