BRENTTODD Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I just bought front led turn signals from euromoto and they do not work right and I think I need a resistor to make them work right. They are shock racing has any one else have and know what resistor to use. Any help would be great. I already have the led in the rear if that makes a difference Thanks Brent
Murray Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Depends if you intend to use one resistor at the flasher can output or a resitor across each individual indicator. Best way is to get the old indicator and measure its resitance 43 ohmms sticks in my mind but could be wrong 5 ohmms ethier way won't matter much. You will also need 5watt resitors across each indicator or 10watt for the flasher can and obiously doubble the measured resitance if you go for this option. Cost under 5 dollar at tricky dicckies or whatever version of electronic parts store you have. The resistors go in parrallel to the indicators not in series.
waspp Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 You could also get a led flasher relay. I did this on my T3 cafe bike and it worked slick plus it was easy to wire and no surprises.

slug Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 How are they not working right? Do you have two (left and right) or one lamp (left & right combined) for your turn signal indicator on your dash? If you have one lamp, you may be in for some fun...

I would say they are flashing too fash flasher can need a decent current draw to work properly and LED don't draw much current, he has them front and rear if you read the post. A lamp LED combination should be a problem just put resistors across the LED indicators and leave the lamps as is.

Hal http://www.customled.com/PRODUCTS/FLASHER_...asher_relay.htm http://www.customdynamics.com/loadequalize...0Turn%20Signal0 That's what I'd do - just replace the flasher under the seat with one made for LEDs. I'll bet you can buy one at any auto parts store. Joe

I only had the right one installed and thought there might be a problem so i tested the right side the back flasher lights and stays on and the front didnt light at all. Turn the left side and all four light and flash. I think i will just buy the right flasher for a led signal a be done with it
Bruce Reader Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 There is a thread on this somewhere. The front signals are wired like a bastard. I have a flasher unit that can compensate for leds or standard globes but this alone will not solve your problems. Cheers Bruce P.S. Hey Greg- any luck with your funky diode circut fix ?

Indicators currently working so i can ride. Leds will happen when they happen. Are you happy with the your signals in terms of strong daylight effect on Leds ?

I was sort of happy with mine (that bike is no more <_ i think it depends on which led indicators you get. had some cheapo shock racing mini indicators. they put out a lot of light even in bright sunlight for their size but would recommend larger ones overall. like the aprilia puts bikes. greg field has set his v11 and look great.>
BRENTTODD Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 Problem solved Steve found me some resitors from custom led. Wire the as the directions say no problems everything works just as if no changes were made. Thanks for everyones input. Beers Brent
