Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Mini rear turn signal wiring

Hey guys, I got from B C a pair of mini bullets and noticed that they have a double element for running and turn signal configuration and the OEM have only one. Thus they blink real fast...anyone have the fix for this. Jerry

Change the bulb, if you are using the right fillement or maybe you have the wrong fillement hooked up.The problem is the resistance. Different bulbs have different resistance as do the different fillements in a bulb. Be sure to use a double fillement bulb if that is what is in there now.

Buy and install one of these and run any combo/mixed flavor of lights you want, they blink on a timer, not resistance. web page

i had a similar problem. it was a grounding issue. take the lens off and see if you can wiggle the cup inside against the houseing. it's been quite a while, so i'm sorry that isn't much help.

Only hook up one wire to the light, ground the other OEM wire to the light base.

Ok, After getting a few responses and a tech piece from BC, it appears the light it self is not grounding. So, I went ahead and mounted them to the upper shock mount with the BC location bracket, plugged the red wire to the green/red and black to black and they work perfectly. It appears the rear assembly is not grounded or very poorly. Just a simple solution. Thanks for the input guys.
