How do you wire up a turn signal?
The converters aren’t made to run the extra voltage. Just stay with regular bulbs and it will work great. Now wire it in like this. (This version uses a 4 wire into 3 wire converter. For a 3 wire into 2 wire converter, just take the tail light wire past it.)
Do you have to wire brake and turn signals together?
They will combine the brake wiring and the turn signal wiring so they will work. Some have the tail light wire running through them (4 wire into 3 wire), and some don’t (3 wire into 2 wire). It doesn’t make any difference, as the tail light wiring isn’t affected. All you’re worried about is the brake and turn signal wires.
Can a turn signal be run with LEDs?
All you’re worried about is the brake and turn signal wires. Note: Don’t try to run them with LED’s. The converters aren’t made to run the extra voltage. Just stay with regular bulbs and it will work great. Now wire it in like this. (This version uses a 4 wire into 3 wire converter.
Do you have to run flasher for turn signals?
NOTE: If you want to run LED lights or bulbs, you will have to run an electronic flasher unit. Ok, now to wire in turn signals that share the rear bulbs with the brake and tail lights, you have to get a little creative…

What’s the best way to splice a wire?
All you need are the wires you want to splice, some quality electrical tape or even better, some heat shrink tubing or self-fusing tape. It is better to solder but this method works great and is strong if you don’t have solder. Hope this helps someone.
How to install load resistors for LED turn signal lights?
There is a little more trial and error involved with the wiring. We recommend you tap the load resistor between the most vivid wire color (usually the brighter/blinker) and the least wire color (usually negative). In this tutorial, we are going to try to tap the resistor the red and black wires. Test the turn after the wires are tapped.
How to convert turn signals into running lights?
To come back to the my V-Strom, I decided to modify the stock wiring to use the Custom Dynamics turn signal module to convert my turn signals into turn + running lights. You need the Custom Dynamics blinker module, $30 shipped.
