Can you put 2 Live wires together?
Connecting two live wires in such a way to the switch will do nothing if both live wires are from the same source, as no current will flow as they should both possess the same potential measured in volts ( An electrical current flows between points of different potentials) BUT if the ‘Live’ wires are from different …
How to wire a 2 wire turn signal?
One wire will flash with your turn signal. The remaining wire should be ground. Use a test light and make sure that this is right. Wire your 2 wire signal (+) to the wire that flashes (signal lead) and the ground to ground (or signal base body).
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 make a 2 wire tail light display running lights?
This is a method to display more light back there than the typical stock single tail and brake light by putting the turn signals to work as running and brake lights. A two-filament or two-wire fixture is required to do this.
Where are the 2 wire turn signals on a V-Strom?
On the V-Strom, the left and right turn bulbs each have two wires. You can visually inspect them by looking into the front fairing, to the sides of the headlights. The writing is pretty straightforward with the posi tap products.

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.
