Moderator Airhead Posted October 11, 2008 Moderator Share Posted October 11, 2008 yes they are leds i dont no what was on the bike before??as i bought the bike without indicators but please dont say i can use these on my bike..lol The thing is, i suspect the bike was sold with filament indicators (bulbs), You could do with confirming this with other owners if you dont know. Howeever if it was, then you will need adifferent flasher relay than the one fitted as standard, have a look at this thread here Here Another thing is the ones you have will have a positive and negative connection so you should have some instruction that came with them, i suggest you PM exupnutta (Ollie), hes an expert with led's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickm Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I would say that the black wire is pos and yellow is neg. Connect the black to the pos from switch and yellow to earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connect the black to the pos from switch and yellow to earth. And why would you say that? when black is usually negative (as in your battery connections).

Guest Exupnutta Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 And why would you say that? when black is usually negative (as in your battery connections). I agree, the black is negative and the yellow positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickm Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 My mate fitted LEDS to his SVS and thats how his were....you can check it with a continuity meter as you will only get a reading one way or the other way is by connecting across battery terminals......current can only flow one way as they are diodes..

Moderator Cynic Posted October 21, 2008 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2008 You really want to connect the fancy doodah indicators to that! Dont worry about the connectors they look like they are fit for the bin, unless you are planning to be changing them all the time get the wiring routed so you are happy and solder the connections. Connectors are good for things that need to come off from time to time for servicing, otherwise they are just to make making the bike easy. So when you have things like the connections at the rear of the bike to lights and such, get rid of the weak link and solder them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alza Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 cheers for the info Cynic..do you think that i could solder these indy clips..so that i could use these indicators??alza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted October 22, 2008 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2008 Why bother just fit the indicators, route the wires tidy and out the way then solder them straight into the loom wires, loose the connections completely. At the end of the day if you do need to change them in the future its only a quick snip to have them off. You will never have any trouble with a good solder joint coverd with a bit of heat sleeving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
