Ok... awhile back i change out my rear tail and signal lights for 2 maltese cross led signal and running lights and a reto ford light doe my brake. All works well (except the speed of the signals is fast but that was to be expected). My question is on the fron turn signals. Are they running and directional lights or just running because I just have running. I can't for the life of me rember if they were both when i hacked the wiring in back. It's a 2007 America. Sorry I'm a dope.


Thumbs Up!

IF, when you "hacked" your wiring", the bike was stock then they were directional only.

Are your fronts still stock? If your answer is yes then...
The fast flashing and what seem to be running lights is a result of the LEDs in the rear and incandescent in front. You should either:
1) Add LED bulbs to the front and get an LED flasher.
or
2) Add load equalizers to the rear.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. You answered my question. The stock directional only was what I was looking for. For once I win the debate between my wife and I. I have the relay on order. Thanks again!


Thumbs Up!
