I'm planning on replacing all my stock turns with LEDs. What wiring changes need to be made to make them work right. I have read about diode and resister but where do you put them? I need a print or something, I can't see it in my head wiring confuse me.

You really wont need to do any wiring if you are just replacing your stock bulbs with LED bulbs. If you replacing the whole unit, then you will only need to connect the wires. However, you will need eitehr a load balencer or an LED flasher.

If you are gong to replace all four turn signals with LEDs, then you will need to eitehr remove the turn signal indicator bulb on the dash or do the diode trick.

Here are a few links that will help...

Sandman and I wend back and forth on a couple of those threads when I was doing mine. I have a Signal Minder on mine, so the flashing speed is fine, but I found I needed to remove the indicator bulb in the dash. Sandman also has instructions on installing diodes to make that bulb work.

The lights I'm buy are on ebay (turn signal diamond)to see them, I hope they work. Wanted something different,not round. My plan is to mount the rear light on the fender, beside the taillight similar to the VTX reto. I'm also making a laid down license plate. The fronts are going to be on the fly screen. Thanks .
