Question about LED turn signals??? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

scoobydoodah · 08-24-2006, 01:40 PM

Ok...so I want to outfit my bike with some LED's and I know that I have to have one of those regulator things (whatever they are called) to make them work right. I read some reviews on cruisercustomising from people who put the "regulator things" on their bikes and they seem easy to install. However, everyone mentioned that all they had to do was tap into left and right rear blinker wires and then ground it (all done under the seat). My question is...if I want to put LED's on the front also...do I need to get another "regulator thing" and tap into the front blinker lights?

It doesn't matter where you tap into the wires, it affects the whole system, front and back. You may need two equalizers or one bigger heavy duty one that can handle more amps.http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...47-post14.html
