LED Turn Signals good price and work well.

A heads up, Just installed these on my Tiger, super Bright and well made Low Profile.

Nice tip, thanks. Do they need a resistor or a new relay?

I just wired them to the old lines did not change anything haven't taken it out for a ride yet, had the motor running Flash timing is faster than with the old set.

Faster flash rate will be due to the lower current drain of the LEDs.

Some models already come with a resistance compensator. I guess most don't. You would need something like this:

Check these guys out good prices>>  http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/ ... -turn.html

So if I don't install a load ressistor what will happen, Will i burn out the Leds?

This Kawasaki site has a show how resistor install> http://www.zxforums.com/forums/zx-6r-fo ... istor.html

No, they will just flash faster, like when you have a burned out bulb. The flashing rate of the blinkers is based on the resistance of the bulbs themselves. If a bulb burns out, or you replace them with LEDs, the resistance changes and so the flash rate changes.

The LEDs will be fine. The relay that does the blinking may suffer a little, theoretically, as they are designed for a certain number of cycles and they will cycle many more times. Not that I think the life will be hugely shortened.

The site you suggest has both the resistors and another solution: to change the relay itself for an electronic one:

Nice site. I love these gadgets!! I am the founder of the GFA - Gadget Freaks Anonymous!!

Well as the saying go's I can't remember what it is at the moment but left turn signal is acting up, it will work after you stop and apply the front break right signal has been no problem.

I rewired the front thinking it was a loose wire same thing played with the rear left light wiring thinking it was a loose wire same thing, next I am thinking of reversing the wire or the lights to see if it is one of the lights.

Any  suggestions?

Some of the led bulbs only fit it one way, try turning them round.

[Nimrod11]

Any  suggestions?

Would very much doubt the LEDs have gone - they are very long lasting and almost impossible to burn out - unless you apply 12V directly to each individual LED. As long as you left it in its original casing, they should be OK.

As rf9rider points out, if you wire them back to front, they won't work. LED only let electrons flow in one direction, not the other like regular light bulbs.

I would guess it is the resistance problem that is making the blinker relay nuts. I would suggest you buy an inline resistor or change the relay. This last option is what I would pick as there would be no wire cutting and if you keep your relay you can always go back to the original. I like always having the chance to go back.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Nothing was opened just weird how thr right set works with no issue but Left is only working after you come to a complete stop%^#(*#$^($ :shock:

I guess you could try reversing the wires. LEDs don't work backwards - fact - but you never know. It may be that these lights have some "anti-dummy" circuit in them that would allow you to connect either way but this is acting up. Can't think of anything else that would make sense, other than blaming it on the Tiger's poor wiring...  :roll:

I fitted something similar to my '98. The blink rate was about double, so I bought one of these and it works perfectly

Looks like the same lights, and I see you removed your skid plate I ride on the road 99.9% of the time I took mine off last week, but it throws up the heat on my feet now good for winter I would guess.

I will check out the relay thanks!!

I've only removed the skid plate to set the bike on a block as i haven't got a centre stand and I am working on the front end.
