turn/brake light conversion kit

Feel like tinkering? I made my own "kit" using red LED lights found at the local auto parts store. Run the LED (+) wires back through the signal stalks and connect into the tag light wire. This is the nifty part: Connect the LED (-) wire to the turn signal's (+) wire. Yes, ground the LED to the positive wire. Here's what happens: signal off? The LED is illuminated by the hot wire from the tag and grounded through the turn signal. The signal bulb remains off. Signal on? The LED loses it's ground every time the signal blinks and the signal works normally. I put two LEDs per signal assembly for about $10 total. The LEDs I got had the step-down resistors wired inline right near the LEDs themselves. All I had to do was shorten the wire leads as needed while keeping the resistors intact. eddie

Looks interesting; it converts your rear turn signals to running lights (amber) and additional brake lights (red) using LED's that install into your existing turn signal housings.

Show room? That's flattering since I only paid $400 for the whole bike... I tried to run a coat hanger up there but it's either blocked hard or there's a turn the coat hanger is to stiff for. I haven tried brake cleaner. How about carb cleaner? I don't want to strip my showroom paint... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
