LED upgrade

Vulcanstein · 04-10-2017, 09:15 PM

Hey Vulcan lovers,

I'm the owner of a 900. I'm putting some hard bags on it and upgrading the lights. I've started by moving the LED turn signals I had on the back to the front. I installed one and tested it to find the following..
Indicating with the incandescent bulb causes them both to flash
Indicating either the LED works

I never installed a load balancer with the LEDs before so they flashed quickly and still do

I ordered the lights and load balancer. Will this be enough? I'm reading about soldering diodes and hoping I don't need to get into that

Assistance is greatly appreciated

I didn't have any problem with my LEDs, but some have. If you do need it, here's a link to what it is. It's called a Metric Diode kit.

You didn't have a problem, but did you install a load balancer?

Yes, I installed 2, one each for the front signals, and the rear has a duel load equalizer built into the run/turn/brake controller that I use.
