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 add turn signals and wire them up?
Use a factory switch. 2. Use an aftermarket switch. 3. Make your own switch system. (It’s easy!) Factory switch Most of you will have a hotrod that uses a steering column that has a turn signal switch built in. What you need to do is find the wiring diagram for the vehicle the column came from.
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…

Why are my turn signals blinking so fast?
No worries—it’s an easy fix! LED lighting draws much less power and lasts way longer than standard incandescent lighting that comes stock with most vehicles. Although the reduced draw of LEDs has advantages, replacement of turn signal bulbs with LEDS will cause what is called hyperflashing.
Can a motorcycle switch from incandescent to LED blinkers?
Some motorcycles exhibit strange behavior on the blinkers when switching out from Incandescent to LED blinker lamps. You may experience what we call the 4-Way Blink Problem, where all turn signals on the motorcycle blink simultaneously – regardless of the direction you choose on the handlebar turn signal selector switch!

Do you need a flasher for an LED turn signal?
Yes, even if you go with LED bulbs in your turn signals you will still either need a replacement flasher relay or load resistors across each LED turn signal bulb.
