Hi Folks,
I purchased a pair of generic LED turn signals off Amazon which I should receive tomorrow. Do I need resistors to control flashing rate? If so, any idea what resistance?
Thanks!

Thanks - hopefully I'll get a chance over the weekend. The stockers are uuuggglleeee!I doubt you’ll need to add something - test it first when you get it, no point in spending money if you don’t have to.

I just installed these LED lights from the local auto parts store. I drilled the plate and mounting bracket to accommodate the larger diameter of this and threaded it in and use it to actually mount the tag to the mounting plate, in place of those black plastic or reflector types.So, after a lot of experimenting it looks like the eBay aftermarket Ducati-style connectors I bought are duds. I cut the wiring off the OEM turn signals and soldered up the LEDs. They work perfectly without having to install a resistor. The first time I turned them on, they did flash only once. I turned them off and back on again and they now flashed at the correct rate. I'm thinking the one-time flash was part of the learning process for the bike? Either way, they're working perfectly.
Thanks!

What LEDs are those and where are they mounted? Hard to see since they are so bright lol.I just installed these LED lights from the local auto parts store.

They were $20 and are insanely bright. I am gonna paint then yellow and hopefully that will tone down the brightness a bit.

I got them from the local auto parts store. They take the place of the bolts that mount the tag to the mounting plate, you just have to drill out the hole a bit to accomodate the larger bolt. I will take some more detailed pics, I just put another coat of yellow paint on them to make them more yellow, and to reduce the brightness a tad.What LEDs are those and where are they mounted?
