Why are LED lights used in motorcycle indicator lights?
A problem arises however when we upgrade a motorcycles indicator lights to use LEDs instead of the conventional bulbs. LEDs are much more efficient and use significantly less power which means that they turn on with only a small input current.
What happens when the right indicator is turned on?
The same happens in reverse when the right indicators are turned on. What this means is that a small amount of current will flow through the dashboard tell-tale light, into the opposite indicator circuit (the one that should be off) and hence through the front and rear indicator bulbs on that side.
