This step is cool to tell you how to install resistor for LED lights. It is amazing! Another novel method is to mount the turn light on your bike headlight. But this method will require you some equipment, for instance- headlight brackets. You will find this method too common to follow. The users get it more efficiently installing load resistor for a bike rather than for a car.
It also saves money. We will introduce five steps to you so that you can install your resistors as simply as you can. And, these will be the easiest ways of LED turn signals resistor installing methods of all kinds. People say that there are two types of wire where one is negative, and one is positive. Although it sounds like two wires, there are three wires.
These three wires mean two wires indeed. Among these three wires you will get one red, one blue, and one black wire. Among them, the black one is called the negative, and the red and blue wires are called positive. In the double filament applications, you will get three wires. Now, tap the resistor between the wires that are brighter and the least wire color. While you finish tapping the wires, test them whether they are working.
If you find the turn signals are still hyper flashes, then try another wire. In step 4 of LED resistor installing procedures, if you still find the hyper flashes problem, then the problem must happen with the connection. In this condition, you try T-Tap installing procedures. It is pretty easy. Since the T-Tap often causes the loose connection, we prefer you to directly merge the load resistor to the stock control.
Now you have to join the wires. Use a wire stripper for not damaging anything while exposing the copper wire. You can also use a scissor too. Now cover the whole connection using electrical tape and mount the resistor to the metal. So, the way you will hook the resistor will work fine means it is suitable for each of the sides of LED signals. The current limit is the same in series components, but it differs in fluctuating voltages.
Yet, you will get some LED in the mean of series and parallel combination. Usually, we found it best if you install one stripe LED in series due to a constant current driver. And, hyper-flashing is something annoying for other persons on the road around you. Installing a resistor for LED Turn Signals is appealing as long as you have some basic knowledge of it. However, we tried to cover all the steps to make you understand how to install resistors for led turn signals motorcycle.
But, if you think that you are not confident about how to wire resistors for led turn signal , please meet any professionals. Or, you can take your motorcycle to a nearby workshop to take their help.

Once fitted the turn signal needs to be facing forward, this can be achieved a few ways:. You can also see this method on our GS Brat style project pictured below. I really like this last option on a lot of the more modern customs where the factory headlight brackets are retained. And most definitely on the Ducati GT you see below. The result is all class! Modern triumphs also have a very easy mount to use this install method on all you need is a large diameter washer and its good to go!
Below is the Triumph T scrambler I built a few years back with the LED blinkers nicely mounted onto the factory mounts. Is your mind racing yet with ideas yet? Lets dive in! There are a few pre-requisites for this mounting style. The first is you have a rear fender…. The next is that you have sufficient clearance on the rear wheel to allow the fixing points and cables.
When fender mounting an LED turn signal I will mark and drill a hole on either side of the fender, if the sides are square, your job is done, just mount the blinkers up.
Your rear fender will look well thought out, neatly finished and most of all have no ugly bracketry to be seen. You can take a look at the Brake light mounting article for a bit more detail on this process. Quick, simple and effective. Laying out a simple sheet metal template you can include a turned down bracket on either side of your license plate holder or tail tidy. Shown below is our Sol Invictus Cafe Racer project utilising this mount type. The frame tab mounting of a LED indicator is a versatile and simple way to go about it.
This style is a great option when the license plate is mounted off the side, or where the rear suspension is twin shock. Using 2 small sections of flat bar cut and drill out the 8mm hole required to mount your LED blinkers. Now its as simple as choosing your placement along the under side of the rear frame rail and welding them in place.
If you are using a rear mounted licence plate just check that the LED blinkers are visible from the rear before finalising your mount position. Similar to the above frame tab mount, albeit a little more complex and a bit nicer looking. Allowing a completely seamless mount, with no visible wiring. Turn and thread or purchase our 2 x threaded bungs as along as your frame tube is wide normally around 25mm Choose your mount location on the rear frame rail and drill out the size hole to allow your threaded slug to slide through ours are 14mm diameter.
If the frame rails angle toward the back, like the Ducati GT shown, the holes and threaded slugs need to be at 90 deg. I will fasten the LED turn signals in to align the threaded bung perfectly before tack welding, then removing the LED turn signal before completing the welding. Once mounted the wiring can generally pass through the weld on slug and directly into the electrics tray hidden under the seat. Instead using some small brackets to mount the LED turn signals and utilising the top twin shock bolts as fixing points.
As shown in the triumph sidecar project pictured. It does however require your bike to be twin shock. Jack your bike up to remove the weight from the rear wheel and loosen the top shock mount bolt. You will need to measure the stud size to know what size hole to drill in your mounting bracket. These are usually mm.
Once you have your measurement, use some sheet metal or flat bar to cut 2 brackets. Each bike will be different but, in my experience, 60mm length will do the job nicely.
Mark and drill both the shock bolt hole and the LED blinker mount hole 8mm once those are done, you may choose to shape the bracket nicely, or simply round the corners. After paint or polish just be sure to re-torque the rear shock bolts according to the manufacturers specs.
Routing the cables is simple as they will dis-appear under the seat quickly and be able to be wired in there. Have fun getting creative and mounting your own LED turn signals.
Thanks for the nice ideas there. I have a xvs v star Ive bobbed it and have ordered some led bullet indicators. I want to mount them in the holes where the fender bolted on to the frame.
I tried with a cheap indicator however when I screwed it in the wires twisted and crushed the bulb. Any ideas on how to screw in the indicators without destroying the innards?
Just be careful with the cable twisting as you do it, potentially locktite the thread into the light body before fastening it. We sell the splitters you need that will work with most LED 3 into one lights. If you dont want to get them through us, you can check some diagrams online that will show you how to make them yourself.
